Hello,
I'm an old poster, but a regular lurker....and in need of some words of wisdom from the collective power of mumsnet.
My DD aged 9 and in year 4 has recently been on the receiving end of some bitchy girls. They have been friends for a few years. One of them, lets call her A, has always been a bit hot and cold and manipulative of DD. DD can deal with her, but, what has upset her this time is the friend B, who she has always been able to depend on, has "ganged up" with friend A. It is nothing major, just running away from her at break, going off arm in arm making it obvious they are whispering about her, calling her a "geek" if she goes to the library. She has got other friends so it not really on her own, but nethertheless it is having a major effect on her. But as we were discussing things last night I started thinking about "empowering" strategies. DD will have to face this sort of behaviour in the future and I would love to be able to give her some strategies for dealing with this.
Anyone have any "empowering" tips please they could pass on?
