DD2 (10yrs) was anxious about school tonight and was in tears again before she went to sleep again. She wants to play with some other friends but is worried about getting into trouble from class mate A. This worry stems from the problems last year between class mate A and another child where there was tension. Child A is quite possessive of my dd and dd puts up with her (to keep the peace) but her other friends don't and because child A makes dds other friends unwelcome when playing.
I have told her to stand up and say "No I am playing with X and X" for instance, but when she tries to play with her other friends, this leaves child A, going off crying and dd2 then going up to say sorry because she feels bad. I have told dd2 to take no notice, but she is worried she will get into trouble by child A reporting her to the teachers, or by telling dds other friends she is being mean. DD is isolating herself from her other friends incase she gets into trouble and is becoming increasingly sad about going to school.
What should I do?
