for a few years my lovely fun kind daughter has been excluded by 3 "unkind" girls. They only talk to her to tell her off. This is fine as she has lots of other friends. The problems arise when these "unkind" girls go through phases of playing with my daughters friends. This is obviously fine as my daughter will just play with other friends. The problems arise when she tells me she asks to join in and one of the "unkind" girls will tell her no and "shoo" her away.
She feels sad and confused about this. I mention it to the teacher each year but nothing is ever done.
I also role play with her about what to do in these scenarios and try to coach her to tell the children they're being unkind and that we could all play together. But I think she just freezes in the moment and does as she's told.
does anyone have any advice please? And does this sound like low level bullying? The constant exclusion?
