School phoned me before I had even got home this morning. DD has hurt another child in her class and has been given a half day internal exclusion. Its far from the first time something like this has happened and unfortunately, it probably won't be the last. I just don't know what to do anymore, to try and stop it. Everything I have tried has got us no where and in fact for the last few weeks it has been getting worse again.
school's POV: DD had put a toy on her desk, the teacher moved it, DD got up and hurt child X, who was across the classroom. It was deliberate and unprovoked.
DD's POV: child X has been bullying her for months, but she can't tell the teacher because it wouldn't be kind to get X into trouble. Being kind is a class rule. Yesterday X said she was going to 'kill DD with bombs' so DD is scared and takes a toy to school to protect her. She is safe and can't be killed if she has the toy. when the teacher moves the toy off her desk, DD is now not safe and might get killed by X, so she attacks X first.
The problem is I can see both points of view, but obviously they just don't fit together. Neither side seems to understand the other and I am some sort of translator in the middle. DD knows hurting is wrong. School know she has anxiety and strange rituals. Yet stuff like this keeps happening.
what is going on here? and what can I do to fix it?
