DD only started reception this year and is one of the youngest in her class. There is a girl there who she obviously looks up to and wants to be friends with who I will call Mia. This girl is now nearly a year older than my DD and a bit more sophisticated.
DD has come back from school a few times a bit upset and every time it is related to Mia. Just daft kids stuff mainly such as Mia wouldn't let DD sit with her at lunch, or had been saying that I (mummy) had horrible hair (!). This Mia is a popular girl and clearly queen bee in the playground.
However the latest thing is that DD tells me that Mia told her to put her hands in her pants and 'press her body'. I think DD did this in the playground, as she said 'everyone was watching' and she was 'walking around doing it'and she was told by a teacher to stop. I questioned her about this but she began to backtrack and said she'd made it up. I don't think that's the case as it's a bit complicated for her to make up. What I can't ascertain is how much of Mia was involved in this or not. DD does embroider at times.
Thinking of speaking to her teacher tomorrow to ascertain what happened and just to raise the issue that I think DD is being dominated a bit by this girl. Just so it can be 'kept an eye on' if you like. Don't want DD made to feel uncomfortable.
I am new to school stuff so would welcome some advice. Thanks.
