Child a victim in primary school

Hello,

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this question.

I met my daughter's teachers on Friday, it's primary. One child in her class pushes others and snatches their toys. The teachers told me that all the children in the class stand up to this kid and her behaviour. My daughter is the only one who lets her get away with it and says nothing. In fact my daughter considers this girl to be one of her closest friends.
A babysitter picks up my daughter and this other girl and looks after them together until all parents come home. Apart from school, they are together for 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours every evening.
It worries me that my daughter considers that this bad behaviour is acceptable from a friend.
She doesn't talk to me about it; she still doesn't really speak (bilingual issues). I'm looking for a book or resource that could help.
Thank you!

Can you change babysitter it might be best to separate your dd from this child.

Emmanal · 21/01/2019 15:01

thanks mumunderthe moon. I agree they need to be separated.

I intend to do that. I have to stick with her for a while until I find an alternative. :-(

How old is she Emmanal?

Emmanal · 23/01/2019 13:11

She's three and a half.
I was told this morning that my daughter doesn't sit at the same table as the other one for activities, lunch, snacks. Apparently it is much better for everyone.
I'd still like to read something about how to encourage her to speak up for herself/ defend herself in a nice way.

this book is aimed at parents of slightly older children but might help. The Teacher might be able to point you in the direction of some resources too Smile

Have you had any joy changing babysitters yet too?

Thanks for the recommendation JiltedJohnsJulie. I've ordered the book.

I'm looking into changing the babysitter. I want to take my time and be sure of getting the right person this time.

Thanks again
