[QUOTE="keista, post: 436121, member: 11965"] :consoling: I don't think it's wrong of you to step in. "I'm sorry, exactly what skill would they recommend here?" If your daughter can't ask that question, I think you should. I cannot think of any way she could deal with this herself. Aren't they ALSO supposed to be teaching the other girls that this is NOT acceptable behavior? I would also aks them how exactly, your daughter is involved in this "mean girl" activity What did she do, what is her role in all of it? To 'play along' with their desire for difficult child to self advocate, you could tell her that if on the first try she doesn't get her needs met, she has to try again. If the needs are still not met, then you step in. I don't know all the details, but could that be a fair 'compromise'? What I don't understand is if you - the PARENTS - have a hard time getting through to these ppl to have her needs met, how do they expect her to do it on her own? [/QUOTE]
