DD1 is 5 and generally well behavaved at school doing well academically but in the past year has been hitting one girl in particular (3 occassions that i know of) who basically knows how to pull her strings (accuses her of doing things she hasn't etc). i have spoken to the teacher about my DD who has talked about behaviour diaries etc. however now it has come to light that parents of a few children have / are going to the head teacher to talk about my daughter hitting their children
. i have tried being stern, being nice about it but DD gets upset when we talk about it and says no one will play with me mummy. I say they won't play with you if you hit them, but to be honest she was being ignored by lots of children before the hitting started because she is different ethnically and physically (at least a head taller than the next tallest in the year)what do i do. i am mortified, cried a few tears and now worried that this will escalate out of control. it seems its happening with the few chidlren that she is closet to! she knows she is different and normally is okay with this but seems to get frustrated when children say no you can't play with us etc.
