Hi everyone , I need some advice on how to deal with my daughter's friend. They have both just started reception together and my daughter has told me and I have seen this little girl hit my child, throw things at her etc. My daughter is so sensitive and caring that she allows this to happen and continues to play with her even though this little girl is terrible with her.
As i have just had my second baby my daughter told the friend that she has a baby brother and the friend openly said infront of my daughter and her mother and my partner that if she had a little brother she would stab it and used hand gestures to demonstrate it. I was horrified as you can imagine I am disturbed by this comment made by a 4 year old. The worst thing is this girl lives next door.
I have spoken with my daughter's teacher to try to arrange activities where my daughter can mix with other children and make new friends. I have explained the importance to my daughter not being friends with somebody that hits her and disrespects her and talks about hurting a baby. however she still plays with her as I think she feels sorry for her as the little girl has no friends except from my daughter, my daughter has never been exposed to violence ever so I thinks she also doesnt understand the severity of what her friend said and how disturbing it is. I have raised my daughter to be kind and share and be polite and she is a lovely little girl and I do not want her to be associated with a child that thinks it is funny to speak about stabbing babies and physically hurts my daughter.What else can I do other than move my child's school please.
