At what point do you involve the teacher?
Answered 4 years ago
My little one is friends with the mean girls unfortunately. A lot of the times they play happily, most of the time though the 2 other girls boss my girl around and lately have started name calling. Things that 8 year olds shouldn’t say. I have lots of heart to heart conversations about how to handle situations and why people act the way they do. It’s an open book with my kids and I know it’s not the case with the other two’s families which is why they are the way they are I guess. So when do I message their teacher and say something?

Teacher might be able to catch the mean girls in the act, and say something to them about their behaviour. However they are usually sneaky as well as mean, and say the nasty things out of earshot of the adults.

Immediately. Keep in mind, if your daughter is "friends" with the mean girls, it probably means that she is in fact a mean girl. Mean girls hang out with mean girls. Sorry

100% no one wants to admit their kid is a bully but it's more than likely.

Contact the teacher but working in a school myself it’s really hard as girls are so sneaky and cunning when it comes to bullying 😞

Have to agree with everyone else, right now.

I had this issue last year. I let the teacher know, but it was tricky as my daughter kept playing with them as she felt like she had no one else. I asked for my daughter to be put in a different class the next year and that stopped it.

Agreed. Talk to the teacher but if it keeps up during the rest of the year ask for your daughter to be put in a seperate class from them next year.

Straight away! The teacher can have a generic talk to the class as a whole explaining expected and appropriate behaviour and how we treat each other. Children need to be reminded before things escalate.
