Hi, if you read my other post “reforming cgm”...I’m here with another, related problem.
LT moved into devo class in January and was put in the most advanced group within that class. She’s been complaining that a girl in the class is mean. Mean like pushing, kicking. I told her to stay away from the mean girl and point out to me which girl it is. She’s not even sure of the girl’s name.
Meanwhile, another devo mom was telling me that her daughter (also just moved into devo in January) was complaining about a mean girl. Her daughter is TINY, like a head shorter than everyone else. Lo and behold, it’s the same mean girl.
I’m guessing that the mean girl is jealous and feels threatened because she’s been in this class for 13 months and everyone has been moved up except for her and her other been-in-the-class-for-13 months friend. And she picks on DD because she moved into the advanced group right away, and the other girl because she’s tiny.
We don’t know mean girl’s mom. Also don’t want to be whiner tattler moms. I’ve been role playing with DD, lightly shoving her and having her practice what to say to me. Then I’ll have her shove me and I’ll use my assertive voice and face to tell her stuff like “Don’t push that’s not nice.”
What would you do?
