My DD is in 2nd grade in a private school. They are very strict about bullying, but bullying between girls is harder to spot and deal with.
There are a few girls in DD's class that are what I consider mean girls/bullies. They say they are friends with you, then they aren't. Then they are again. They tell my DD that if she plays with another kid, they don't like it and they get mad at her. They do things like tell my DD that they don't want the friendship bracelet that she gave them, that they threw it out the window.
To me, this is bullying. I've tried to encourage my DD to avoid these girls entirely, that she should be friends with the nice girls who don't do this stuff. It's hard, I'm sure, as I suspect they kinda run the show among the girls in her class right now.
The principle told me that she's had to intervene with two of the girls who were purposefully being mean to each other, comparing what each kid has. Who has an American Girl doll, who has an iPad, etc. I don't know the outcome of that discussion, but things seem no better right now.
It's affecting how my daughter feels at school. She says she's stressed out and sad about all of it.
Any advice? I hate it for her.
