DD10 is attempting to navigate the social waters of 6th grade in middle school. As stated in other posts, she is snarky, and I am afraid is becoming more negative. She and another girl have been butting heads for several months, and now DD has stated that this girl has attempted to push her down the stairs. We have not interfered in the situation, but when I hear that physical force has entered the scene, I want to email the principal. DH wants to know why this girl pushed DD (what did DD do to set the girl off). I do too, but I still want to deal with potential harm. About a month ago another boy inappropriately touched DD, and the principal jumped on it immediately. Now I need to contact the school yet again, and I am concerned about the "that parent" persona I might become. In addition, the AIG teacher is creating a lunch bunch for DD to help her with social skills.
Sometimes I wonder if the grade skip was the right thing to do, but the age appropriate grade wasn't working well either.
Is it ok to just say I'm tired??
I would love to hear from you all as you bring up angles I may not have thought of on my own (being in the midst of things).
A PS - DD10 does have one good friend who unfortunately is on another 6th grade team so she has some friendship skills!!
