What can be done?

[Claire2009]

There is a child in DD's class that has adhd, he is very agressive with it and the majority of the time DD is getting the agression her way.
She came out of school yesterday with her hair all over the place (looked like she'd been dragged through a hedge backwards!) I asked what had happened and she said the child had pulled her head back (using her ponytail), this isn't the first time either.

I know DD is no angel, they are 6/7yrs old, but what can be done so she isn't getting it all the time?
She went to nursery with the child with adhd, and they have get on well most of the time with the occassional spat, I just think DD seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time during his meltdowns

You need to have a quiet word with the teacher, clearly express your sympathy and understanding of the other child's special needs but ask that your DD is kept safe. How is your DD? Sometimes us parents are more bothered by this sort of thing than our children are, is your DD getting upset about the behaviour?

DD is very emotional, this isn't a new thing, though it has got worse in the last 3-4wks. I'll pop in and have a chat with the teacher

If it's got worse you definitely need to have a word and it might not be a bad idea to follow it up with an email, one of those where you basically cover what was said - thank you for meeting with me and agreeing to x, y and z etc, then if the issue isn't resolved and has to be escalated you can refer back to it.

Hope it all gets sorted.
