DD (6 last week) has started acting defensively, especially when I ask her about tiffs at school with her 'friends'.

One girl's mother told me she'd seen my DD push her DD and say some unkind things in the playground (think her DD may have conjured that up as DD swears she said and did nothing).

Then today she came home and let out that the teacher made 4 of them stand up in class but then she clammed up and pretended to forget why.

Dh heard her sleep talking tonight saying one of the girl's names and puttingher hand over her mouth as if she shouldn't be saying anything - all a bit weird.

To me it all sounds like 6 yr olds quarelling but not sure what to do - shall I ask to chat to the teacher about it or is it just silly squabbles?

Everything I ask her to do at home, she complains about and just wants to watch tv when she gets home from school. She used to be so cuddly and want to sit with me and chat but now she seems to be a bit distant.Sorry for long post.

Hi LucieM, sorry to hear about this - not much to offer except a hug. I would talk to the teacher though - just to get it from their point of view and put your mind at rest.

Hi BTN - thanks for the reply. It escalated a bit more today - DD had to stand on her own whist the rest of the class sat down - not with any others as she'd previously said but she was embarassed as it was her first proper telling off!

Bit mean of the teacher to make her stand there on her own - she was obviously chatting to someone else too!

Did you get my email a couple of weeks ago (just after new year? I might have sent it to a different email I think that you don't use. Hope it's not too long before the big homecoming?

Anyway - had nig chat to DD and she's ok. Bless her - she hates being told off.
Right - off to watch Torchwood - I know I'm sad! Luciemule x

Hi Luce - sorry I didn't reply. If you go back through the forces sweetheart's thread and look for one you replied to where I was posting under a different name, you will see I had a lot to deal with . Yes only 26 days to go, thank God. Lots of love to you and DH, DD and DS
