I really love the school my daughter goes to but I have come across a couple of situations where I feel my daughter is being bullied. There are two boys who taunt her when I drop her off for school each morning about being "first" to be there. I can tell it bothers her because immediately she becomes withdrawn. And then just yesterday she told me her "friends" are bullies. She clicked with a couple of girls who they all seemed to get along well. Well, I guess lately she has been being purposely "left out" and "ignored" by these girls. Yes, this is in preschool! All 4 & 5 year olds!

As she was openly talking about this to me yesterday I kept up the conversation by asking her how she felt and what she did when it happened. She told me it made her sad and she "played by herself" because no one wanted to let her into their "group". I asked her if she spoke to her teachers about this and she said no. She asked me to talk to them for her which I was but she did it herself this morning and I was so happy that she was able to do so. I hope it helps...I will see this afternoon when I pick her up to see how her day went.

My question is why does it seem like she is continually the victim here? What can I do to help her not be a victim? My daughter is beautiful, fun, & intelligent and has a love for people, animals, learning, school & life...I don't want her to ever lose this! What can I do as a parent to protect her? This is her second year in preschool but at a different school than last year and never did I hear of anything like this happening.
