Ughhh...I'm not ready for this

DD came home friday upset because a little girl in her kindergarten class told her that no one cared about her and that even her little brother didn't love her.

Yesterday she just seemed off. Finally before bed she told us that another little girl had made fun of her because she has a cold and her voice sounded funny and because she had a "baby" umbrella. They were taking an umbrella walk as a class and she took her Dora umbrella. All the other little girls like it, but one of them (who's mom forgot her umbrella) made fun of her and told her Dora was for babies. She was so upset and hurt and it broke my heart.

I feel so unprepared to deal with this! I remember how mean little girls can be and I just don't know the right advice to give her or the right things to say to make her feel better. It is a helpless feeling. It was also sad to see that she is losing some of that childhood innocence and seeing that people can be cruel for the first time.

I just want my kids to stay babies!

    This has happened before w/ds. A kid in his class either doesn't like his shirt or maybe something he brought for show & tell. We talk about it & I usually say something along the line of "Well that wasn't a very nice thing to say was it? It's not nice to talk to people like that, and besides ___ is my favorite!" We usually try to spin it off that the other person is not being very good & you don't wan to be friends w/ a person like that. Now it doesn't seem to bother him but boys are a lot different than girls. Good luck!

    We've been really lucky.  At thier old school there was a girl who picked on my oldest sd and she used to cry about it alot!  At thier school now, the kids are all so well mannered!  I head room mom'd the last 2 years and was so impressed at the kids' behavior.  There is one boy who was picking on one of the girls briefly but a quick email to the teacher took care of that. 

    Lots of love and hugs and reassuring her that kids who pick on her are either jealous of her or if its a boy-probably just have a crush on her, will help.  Poor baby!

    Does she like American Girl dolls?  Even if she doesn't they have a great DVD that is perfect for K-5'th grade girls that deals with bullying.  It's called Clarissa Stands Strong.

    I highly suggest watching it with her and talking about it afterward.  I think it's a cute movie and really helps girls' to understad being bullied and being a bully.

    If you do this, let me know what you think of it.

    Thanks Karma. I am absolutely going to order that for her. She mentioned last night that another little girl had a spiderman umbrella and she wasn't really friends with her because she liked boy stuff so we talked about the other side of the bullying coin too. Thanks for the tip. I need all the help I can get!
