My daughter is being bullied at preschool :(

[ThePoorMansBeckySharp]

My daughter, aged 3, is being bullied by a little fucker a boy at pre-school, who is also 3.

She comes home upset most days as he has hit her or told her she can't join in with something. I have expressed my concern to the teachers. They tell her to say 'stop it! I don't like it!' which is good and well, but this seems to be prolonged. What should I do?

I wouldn't call it bullying at the age of 3 - children this age aren't calculating like that.

However, I would speak to the pre-school about how they are keeping your DD safe. Teaching children to say "Stop" to behaviour they don't like is fine but they need to be managing the other child's behaviour if it is adversely impacting on your DD.

I agree with Rita i would speak to the pre school again and stress your concerns.
I also think it is beyond a child of this age to 'bully'

"Consistently acting in the manner of a bully", then.

I don't think you will get far with the pre-school if you start accusing children of bullying. If another child is hurting or being unkind to your DD tackle the pre-school about how they will keep her safe and manage the behaviour.

I also agree with Rita.
Children of that age have no concept of bullying. You cannot go arount calling 3yo's bully's.
You need to speak to the pre-school and ask them how they deal with this child, and other children, if they are naughty or hurtful.
There is a boy at my ds's nursery who has a few issue's. My ds has come home on a few occasion's saying that X has hit him/stolen his toys etc. I had a chat with his teacher's, they said they were aware of any behaviour, and have a 'Time out corner' in which they put children who misbehave. This works well, and I have told my ds to stay away from X if he does'nt want to play with him, which he does !

FFS they're 3! You have no right to call a three year old Little f...er they're still babies! Ever heard the quote like two nursery children who can't share the crayons? This is exactly that!
