An was hopein she didn't get in..Well she did :) an her mood changed as we started to go school shopping for her.. Well Tuesday was the frist day, an a lil boy at her table hit her, an she told him to leave her alone well he hit her again. An she told the teacher, yesterday she got up ballin, that she couldn't move her right arm,( same arm the lil boy hit) an needed to go to the doc.So I took her , cause she hates the doc's office.. Well this morin when I dropped her off at school her attuide change when this lil boy came up the hall. Which was a blinky light to me this is the kid. Who is way bigger than her, an he sits right beside her..MY baby went from smiling to this sick look on her face. He was Loud an tellin the other kids at the table he was mad at them an goin to tell his mama on them HELP, I know wat I would say to someone elsa goin through this but this is my child. An all I really want to do is confront his mother who is 3 times my size an tell her to get her kid undercontrol.. I could honestly see him sittin in the class bulling her an the other 3 kids at the table. Bein that he is bigger & taller than they are.

So What Happened?

Last night was Meet & Greet the Teacher.. After the other parents left I brought it up to the teacher. How my lil girl acted when he came up the hall yesterday morin an the hitting. She said she was goin to move him, to a table with less kids. :) but I only feel bad for who ever sits next to him. Then this morin when he came in his mother jus stood at the door an signed him in an left. As for me I readin some of the book she had. So I felt bad for him, but at the same time I know he is probali goin to use that against her. I wrote it down when I brought it up to the teacher. An I will be takin the next steps that U guys have givin me. If the teacher doesn't get a handle on it ..THANK- YOU

Hi T.,
Well I think this is something that the school should handle since it's happening while she is in class. The teacher should be able to handle it. I think that confronting the mom is a mistake and will only make the situation worse for all involved.
Best Regards,

You should first talk to your child. Part of "daycare" is learning to socialize. If your child has been at home for the past few years she just needs to adjust to the environment and that takes time. I am sure you have had her around other kids, but you have probably been able to control it it a little better. Once they start school it is not the same. She also needs to learn to stay away from the trouble makers. You should also speak with her teacher and maybe request that she be moved to a new seat. If you talk to the teacher you may figure out why this kid is allowed to act that way in the class room. Sounds like the typical childhood stuff and you have to be careful about intervening because she needs to learn to handle herself. Good luck!! We all want to protect our kids.

Im so sorry that this is happen to yall. I would talk to the teacher and let her know what is going on. Then ask her to bring in the boys mama and yall have a parents and teacher thing to see if this can stop. He shouldnt be hitting anyone. Period! And if it keeps happening then he needs to leave the class room and go to another one. I wouldnt stand for any of that stuff. You need to do something right a way. Or it will not stop. It makes me mad for you. I have a daughter in the 3rd graid and im very protective of her and my son. I hope that this ends very soon. She shount have to go threw this at all. Good luck .

I would immediately go to the school and talk to one of the principals. Let them know that this child's bullying is causing your daughter a lot of trauma and that you will not tolerate this child's actions. Demand that the school address the situation. The bully's parents should be called and he should be suspended for hitting your child. I'm like you -I'd want to confront his parents, but that wouldn't really solve the problem. It might make you feel better. Just kidding. Talk to the school. They should have policies in place to address this.

Texas has zero tolerance for bullying and instant suspension for hitting. As others have said, go to the principal. Your daughter needs to know that others agree that this is not right. Good luck to you.........and no, I wouldn't comfront the mom either as he learned this behavior somewhere.....

First of all Welcome to TX. We are glad to have you. Second, in TX there are laws about this. GO TO THE PRINCIPLE OF THE SCHOOL. Tell them that your daughter was physically assulted and bullied by this child and that she must be moved to different table. Also, ask the Principle if you need to file a complaint with the Superintendant. This will get their attention. It sounds like this child needs some counciling and needs to be put on notice that this behavior is NEVER acceptible and he could be removed from the class if it continues. STAND YOUR GROUND! Don't worry about offending anyone, this is your baby and she has every right to feel safe and secure in her class. My son went through the same thing in Kindergarten and I took the actions listed above and guess what? The school staff made sure that my son was not hurt again and he did not have to be near that bully anymore.

You should always approach the teacher first, I was a teacher before staying home with my kids, and when a parent goes over your head without giving you the opportunity to fix it, it can cause resentment, and that is not the way you want to begin a new school year. However if the teacher will not listen to you or refuses to help, then absolutly go to the principal. In my experience though, a teacher will always do whatever she can to stop a situation like this one. Good luck to you and your little girl. Semper Fi :)
