Has anyone gone through their child being bullied at school

@Nina im very lucky she's such a smart little girl , it's sad bc she's told her teachers in the moment when it's happening I have always told her she needs to have her voice and speak up if someone is upsetting her. I unfortunately just don't get told,I don't know if maybe they are uncomfortable telling me bc I work there but she comes home and tells me anyways. Thank you so much I'm definitely going to keep pressing the situation bc I can't keep having her come home crying like this
Has she directly communicated to the bully yet? I know some recommend saying things like “that’s not nice what you’re saying/doing” or just straight up saying you’re being mean. Also, at this age maybe the bully is being bullied at home… perhaps a play date so you can see them interact? To understand where this behavior is coming from and why to your daughter.
Talk to the parents. Do what you feel is right. This is Mama Bear season ladies, with no end in sight. We don't deal with our babies being bullied anymore! Talk to the parents, if they don't do anything, think about CPS or School Board, police, anything. Keep fighting for that girl.
@Sierra I think this is a 3.5 year old the poster is talking about?! Not a school aged child. The issue is how the teacher is handling it. I don’t even think a child this young is capable of targeting an individual child in the true sense of bullying. That doesn’t mean the behavior is acceptable by any means, but I would get a better idea of how it is being handled by the teachers. Do they notice it happens with certain triggers or during certain times of day? I know for example when my son’s daycare class had some issues with biting in the 2s class they started reading a book about not biting every single day (which was obviously just one part of it). I would ask your daughter as much as possible exactly what she means by “making fun of her” while also obviously remembering that I wouldn’t take a toddler’s word for it 100% of the time. Because if you have more specifics it might help to address the behavior. Like is the child commenting on what she wears or what she has for lunch
Or things like that. It would help the staff address it more specifically. If it happens while the kids are playing it might be an issue with taking turns or things like that. This is much more about the adult behavior in this situation.
there are comments she makes like going up to my daughter saying your artwork is bad and it isn't good enough. That day, my daughter came home crying and wanted to draw all day bc she wanted to make her art work better bc to her it wasn't good enough. There was another incident where she was playing with her friend, little girl walked up told the girl she was playing with not to play with my daughter bc she didn't like her so she had no one to play with. The incident from yesterday happened to be she was in the classroom telling all the kids it was her birthday and that my daughter wasn't invited to exclude her but then pointed to each individual kid and said your going your going your going and to my daughter your not welcome I don't like you. And then laughed in her face. At some point, she told her santa doesn't like you your on his naughty list. I understand they are young and but the behavior needs to be taken care of bc my daughter continues to be, in my opinion, bullied.
Keep pressing the issue! Talk to the parents of the child AND let your daughter know how to speak up for herself. Good luck strong mom, you can do it for your baby!!
