Duckie has a friend that I don't like. She's six and in Duckie's class. I can't believe that I dislike a six year old! She bullies another child quite a bit and other children intermittently. Duckie likes her well enough when "A' is being nice to the other kids, but becomes very upset & anxious when A acts up. A hasn't bullied Duckie as far as I know.
A's mother is a therapist but she tends to minimize the effect A has on the other kids. Duckie has become very sensitive about bullying ever since she was told (by me) that her bad/mean behavior toward other kids was bullying.
Duckie is confused because this girl is kind to her, but mean to others.
I'm angry with this other family because I've dealt with Duckie's bullying behaviors head on while they let their daughter's inappropriate behavior go on.
The child that A targets often is a friend of Duckie's and she feels torn. I've been trying to get Duckie to be supportive toward the victim without telling her to outright avoid A.
Should I try to end the friendship?
