Well, it's really for your daughter to handle, not you. The sooner you learn this, the easier your child's life may be. [ Reply | More

Why do you need a book? Don't get so involved in the emotional life of your kid. They have to figure this stuff out by themselves [ Reply | More

np - and I could not agree with you more - however, the schools do not adhere to this philosophy - if your child is not social/popular and friends with practically everyone in the classroom - they consider it a problem. It's just another example of pc gone mad. I don't remember the name of the people in my first grade class. I differentiate between friends and classmates. And I let dc sink or swim. IF dc ends up being the child no one wants to play with - that is ok with me. Other children are often the best teachers. [ Reply | More

When my dd was in K, there was a girl on the school bus in the 2nd grade that often said rude or mean things to my dd. I spoke to the principal of the school who looked into the matter. I also gave my daughter a few "scripted" lines to use. I also stressed that she should not say anything mean back to the girl. Like "you can say anything you want, but I'm not going to listen to you. So, you'll be talking to yourself, etc." Knowing how she would respond in advance really built her confidence. In fact, she told me later that she actually said something different to the girl, but with the same confidence. Soon after this the other girl stopped teasing my dd and they became friends.
