bullying

Poor Sarah! I hate seeing kids being bullied

The school should deal with it as bullying is very serious. There should be strategies and consequences that the teacher can use to help change the girls behaviour. I would speak to the teacher again and ask her politely what she is doing to help the sitiuation. If she says she is doing something about it then I'd give it a few days to see if it settles down and if not then I'd take it further - have a meeting with the Principal and let him/her know how bad it really is!!!

Do you know her parents very well??? If you felt comfortable you could speak to them and let them know how it is making Sarah feel and maybe then see if there is a change??

Hope this helps!

I agree with Anna - Teachers go through training to deal with bullying and should no matter what age the children are, have a zero tolerance to bullying.
If you're not satisfied with the teacher's answer then take it to the principle, still not happy - demand a meeting with the parents and teachers present.

I'm sure the bully's parents would be absolutely mortified to find out what their baby has been doing (if they were decent parents) so it would be good to let them know so that they can put in some strategies to stop it.

Caitlin went through a stage where she was hitting and biting other kids, she is much younger than Sarah, but I was still absolutely gutted that MY BABY would inflict harm on another person. We worked really hard at home and at her day care and we seem to be over the worst now
