Hello everyone!
I am a mother of 3 little girls! They are the center of my world! I have twin girls age 7, and a 18 month old as well.
The twin girls are very care free, talkative and active. They enjoy the outdoors and play hockey on a co-ed team.
Recently Kenzie, the youngest twin has started coming home from school, and just being stressed. She is extremely emotional, and crys about pretty much everything.
I asked her what was going on with school, and she had said that a boy in class had kissed her twice on the back, and once on her pencil. I talked to the teacher, and it was dealt with. However, the next day, she then came home with 2 love notes from 2 other boys, and she said that she was uncomfortable about it, cause these boys had also tried kissing her. I emailed the teacher again, and she talked to these new boys, and hopefully the situation has been rectified.
Should I have emailed the teacher a second time?
How should I react to the boys chasing her and kissing her? Is it really a big deal?
It is upsetting to her. What can I say to her to make her feel better about the situation?
What is it that you suggest that I do to handle the situation if it arises again?
She was crying last night cause she spilt a few times... and said that she always spills. We told her that everyone does it, and if it bothers her then perhaps that is something that she can work on improving.
Do you think that there is perhaps something else going on with her?
If so, how would you suggest I find that out?
Thanks for your time in advance...

| You were def right to email the teacher again. Hmmmm not to scare you but it actually does sound like something else could be going on. Im not sure what? I thought that halfway through reading this. It doesnt seem like something she should be really upset and stressed about unless something else was going on. I think you should sit down with her alone and tell her that she did nothing wrong but you would like to know why it made her so upset. Have a girly conversation with her first and have her open up about other things first. Make sure you talk when it is a good time for her, not right after school or when she is tired. Tell her how to stick up for herself and that she should tell the boys she does not like it when they kiss her or write her love notes. Trust your instinct if you feel something is not right with her or if she seems overly upset. Make yourself very available to her and keep reassuring her that it is okay to be upset about it and to tell those boys to knock it off. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. |
