I wasnt sure whether to put this in Behaviour and Development but this situation is only happening at preschool.
DD (4 next week) has been going to preschool for a year now and has now swapped to going in afternoons with all the other older children. The majority of them were in the other set with her for the year before.
Now there is one particular girl who has been a bit mean with her, verbal attacks and actually kicked her in the back last week. I spoke to the preschool about it who are now keeping a watchful eye.
This girl only lives around the corner from us, they've had a playdate together and she is coming to dd's party at the weekend. Her mum is lovely but I dont think she's fully aware of whats going on.
Atm I have actually got a fellow mumsnetter staying with me for the week and she has taken dd to school.
When they arrived dd went up to this girl and asked her if she was her best friend. Her reply was "no I'm not your friend" so at that dd then asked one of the boys who we often hear about and because the girl was stood there he said "errr" and then his grandma butted in and said "no he's everyones best friend". At that it went quiet and then the girl said "your my best friend xxxx"
This just guts me totally. DD is a lovely sole. All she wants is to play with everyone and have fun. She isnt selfish or mean. She doesnt hit out or snatch of people and has good manners.
She hasnt been all that bothered. I've heard her come out with the odd remark but its forgotten after. However today my friend has come back and said she was upset
I'm just not sure how to deal with this now and I'll be really upset for her if it goes on at her party on saturday as all the children who were invited are coming apart from 2.
Is this normal behaviour?
What do I do to help her understand or try not to let it upset her?
