My daughter is 6 and has just started year 2.
Her first year at school (pre school) was very positive. In year 1 i decided to go back to work full time. Things didn't go well for my daughter. My husband works away often and we have no family around us, we moved to the area a couple of years ago so have no family support.
LL was put in "nuture group" at christmas with 3 other girls in the class, all of whom have strong personalities. I fully supported this and took the realisation that ll was exhibiting challenging behaviour v seriously. LL was negative in class and often made some of the other children bad by her hurtful manner. There was no physical behaviour, the teacher said she needed "tweaking" and more positive reinforcement to help her feel better.
I resigned from my job, which i loved as my childs happiness is much more important to me. LL is doing so much better and we spent a wondrful summer together.
The problem is a group of other mothers who have made it very clear that i and my daughter are to be excluded.When i walk in the playground it's all eyes down as nobody will acknowledge me an i stand alone.
I've been in and spoken to the teacher about concerns around scapegoating and she stated that she "wished all the mums were like me". This helped me to feel better for a while.
We took ll to the cinema on Saturday only to find that there was a birthday party that included every girl in her class. The girl holding the party is friends with my daughter and they have recipricated at parties inviting each other for 2 years. I feel that this is cruel and needless and while my girl is quite stoic about it i'm distraught at the vindictive behaviour and feeling emotional. My husband thinks i'm being a "victim" and over reacting, but i'm dreading the school run and would really appreciate any advice from mums who may have experienced this. I should also point out that the other 3 girls sent to nuture club were at the party.
