How do I help my daughter not be the mean girl 😔. There is a girl in her class that has a really bad stutter and this is actually her second year in preK because of it. She is a very sweet, shy little girl. Well today in the car my daughter started to pretend to have a very exaggerated stutter. I asked her why she was doing that and her answer was everyone in the class does and it’s funny.

My heart just broke. I was the kid who was held back and had a stutter growing up. We had a long talk about how we don’t want to make people sad and laughing at them is not ok. Is this age appropriate and I just need to keep correcting until it clicks?

I will point out that I have never gotten a bad report about her from the school or daycare. Everyone says she’s a delight to around so maybe I am taking my own personal experience and making it into bigger deal....

I would just talk to her and explain people are different and it’s not nice to make fun of someone because they are different. That it can hurt there feelings.

It definitely is age appropriate but it is good that you're correcting it. Maybe even tell her about your experience in an age appropriate manner

I did try to explain from my perspective but she just can’t understand that mommy was once a kid like her. Of course in the middle of the discussion I started stuttering which happens when I am upset or tired. She just thought I was making fun as well. Totally felt like a failure for that little girl. It’s so hard being the kid no one understands 😔

@lovebug-mom I would try showing her pictures from when you were little and having the talk with her then. Always encourage her to be nice. Books help put things like this into perspective at this age. Try getting some from the library about bullying.

I think that’s totally age appropriate and an important discussion to have with her. At that age, I don’t think kids really do and say things to be mean and bully. They might not understand how something they think is “funny” could really be hurting another child’s feelings. I think you did a great job by talking to her about it, and no, I don’t think you are overreacting. Your daughter is probably just innocently copying other kids/ another kid in the class, so helping her understand what is wrong with it is very important.
