Bullying in kindergarten: the experience of a mother

Sempra impossible that bullying can occur in nursery school, and instead is what happened to a girl a nursery in California. For the mother, Christina Simon Was difficult to share an experience so traumatic for her and her baby. It took four years before he could talk about it, but it is better to spread this kind of news to help those who were to be found in such situations. Here is what says:

When my daughter started kindergarten, I knew something was not right to leave, more or less, by the third week of school. She was in a transitional phase. He did not cried when I left and it looked like school. Like many children, it took him time to get used to the new environment and new classmates. This is normal. Yet, I felt that there was no communication with the girls in the class as usually happens. He played with the boys and was far from most of the girls. Hmm. Something was off. In preschool, he had three girls as best friends. My intuition told me something was wrong, but I could not decipher it. A few weeks later, the grounds were still far apart. Then, about two months after the start of the school, the answer has emerged.

Anguish for mother of failing to understand what was happening can be attributed to any situation where a parent is mortified at not being able to square the circle. Especially when you see your little suffering. At that point you just have to ask, talk to teachers but often teachers do not want interference, spend time and cuddle their young to try to understand what is the problem that afflicts him.

My daughter had a bully in class, which focused on her and some other girls. Yes, a bully. This child had started school a year earlier, it had been in school one more year of my daughter, who was new. He also had a teenage brother, who was already out of school. I knew that my daughter found it difficult to make friends with the girls in her class. He was very good with kids but with the girls was a different story. Then, as children, broke down sobbing one day and explained to me, which was enough to put together the details. I still remember it vividly … where we were, what we were doing, what he said. But it was new at school and the last thing I wanted to do was to start calling the school to report. Still, it was too serious to be ignored.

You, in such a situation how you would react? Christina thought it well to confide in others mothers discovering that one of them had a daughter in the same condition: he was tormented by the ‘tack’ the other girls and kept away from games in the garden, and was teased with nicknames and called rude to say the least.
