I have not got in trouble yet with the other parents. If I remember correctly, there was at least one parent in earshot.<BR/><BR/>Nonblond: I agree ... kids can be mean.<BR/><BR/>Somaserious: Girls ...I know. I hope that my daughter keeps her good perspective. Sometimes I think I get more upset that she does.<BR/><BR/>Hack Shaft: I think that is a great wish for your daughter. <BR/><BR/>On a good note, one of the girls from the Brownie troop invited her for a "play date" this week.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317845403611730397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-85870744054557441972008-04-02T01:16:00.000-04:002008-04-02T01:16:00.000-04:00I have an 11-year old who is in the same exact sit...I have an 11-year old who is in the same exact situation. When the bullying at school got physical, that crossed the line and things were nipped in the bud by a very attentive and understanding principal.<BR/><BR/>My wish for my child is not that she will develop physical skills in Karate, but that she will begin to carry herself with self-confidence and avoid the need for self-defense in the first place.Hack Shafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682078707505224802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657543360198531381.post-33207165997752877852008-04-01T10:40:00.000-04:002008-04-01T10:40:00.000-04:00Ugh, girls.

That type of behavior hurts so deeply, I know, I was the brunt of it in elementary and junior high school. Sounds like your daughter has a good grip on the situation.

I would have said the same thing, and then wondered later if I should have! Anything to get "mental access" to the other girls is all we try to do as parents. Just watch out if they "twist" the story to their parents and you get a talkin' to!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16909366512264989613noreply@blogger.com
