Girls in Year 2....not very nice

[lovely123]

Hi,

I am brand new to this forum as I desperately need some support.
My DD is in year 2 and if I had to sum her up it would be by saying she is adorable, caring, confident, clever and very sensitive.
I know this sounds biased but this is how she is...
The only issue is she gets bullied around by her class mates, always a specific group of girls that my DD wants to hang out with, there is about 5 of them.
I have told her to hang out with some of the other girls or even the boys but she always seems to want to gravitate towards these girls.
It breaks my heart when she tells me certain things, i.e. they didn't let me play with them today, they told me I wasn't going to be invited to a birthday party, they said she couldn't sit with them...etc etc

Basically it sounds like they gang up on her and will not let her join into to games, chats and make a fuss if she sits with them.
Apparently they have some sort of diary and when my DD asked them for a page they said no and they didn't want to rip anymore pages out.
It obviously affects DD but not enough to not want to go to school, when she tells me it breaks my heart though.

I have spoken to the school too but nothing changes and I guess it is very subtle bullying but nonetheless it is a form of bullying.
She has never really bonded with anyone since reception and it really worries me, especially since she is generally nice to be around.
I wonder if you guys can share your experiences and any advice as to how I should handle this?

Thanks X

Even if it is not bullying behaviour (though personally I think it is), neither is it kind. If I am out in a social setting I would naturally try to include people looking a bit left out and I would always encourage my kids to do this. It's a social skill that children need to learn.

We have the exclusion problem with DS. He struggles socially so it's slightly different. It is rotten to witness as a parent though isn't it. I work really hard on making home a haven from it all. I will be watching with interest to see other suggestions.

Hi I'm new to this forum and would like some advice my nearly 7yr old girl is in yr2 and is having problems fitting in. She left a good network of friends due to a move of area and is missing them. She told me she has no friends at school the girls are already in groups and the boys talk about her. It broke my heart to see her so tearful and upset I've spoke to the school and they are going to buddy her up with someone but unfortunately I have heard that before! Is anyone experiencing this??

Thanks x
