In Finland that's what you would do, talk to the teacher and have her/him set up a meeting with the kids and parents involved. Of this meeting I would definitely exclude you and IM as you've done nothing wrong and aren't a part of it in any way, really. And although I know that you want to help the lovely little redhead and her mother, is that really your responsibility? I know it kind of is, as a fellow mom, but I mean, really? You're a kind-hearted woman but please, do not take upon yourself something that you needn't.<BR/><BR/>Bullying is one of the worst things I know and have experienced, and it's not just school. There are bullies everywhere. I've encountered a few at work and even been 'friends' with one for a while until I had enough.<BR/><BR/>Extremely tricky, I admit. I truly hope that this will be sorted out, with or without your help. It sounds to me as though you're having a hard time with the situation due to your own school memories that now have evoked those feelings of helplessness, anger and frustration you must have felt as a child.Marja Kristiinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16994877584056649395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592545829181315721.post-64243289553695364542008-06-27T09:13:00.000+01:002008-06-27T09:13:00.000+01:00Oh Dev what a tricky situation.

Perhaps IM could befriend the little red-haired girl if they're not already pals? If it were me I'd ring her mum, explain what you truly feel has happened and see if your two girls could become good friends. Perhaps have her round for tea or something? As for the other girl, well, I'd just draw back from her dad and her and concentrate on building bonds between your daughter and the girl havign a tough time.<BR/>Sorry if that's a bit long winded, I think the best antidote to bullying is friendships and the more the better, these things soon change and hopefully will pass over very soon.<BR/>Have a smashing weekend,<BR/>Stephx - oooooh I don't often go to Tesco but I feel a trip coming on!Curlew Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05743251099471763243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592545829181315721.post-37768544442984627582008-06-26T23:03:00.000+01:002008-06-26T23:03:00.000+01:00hehe, I think I would wear one on each shoulder to...hehe, I think I would wear one on each shoulder too. I prefer the blue polka do one. I think the pop style print of hers is my least favourite. i prefer the more traditional floral prints. not bad for £3.50 are they?1Tinyholderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282856264223984826noreply@blogger.com
