Thanks for your comments ladies.


Have you spoken to the teacher at kindy? Maybe one of the other little girls has been behaving that way towards her or others there? I would have thought at her age she would actually have to see that behaviour to be acting it out herself.
I haven't spoken to her teacher yet - but I will be making a time to see her next week to discuss it with her and see if she's noticed anything. It seems like such a harsh and extreme action for a little girl to come out with so I tend to agree that she may have seen someone else do it (or something similar).

I said to DH tonight that we might need to look into seeing someone. I feel like I'm out of my depth here and I've had years of experience working with children (some of the time with 'at risk' children) but I guess I'm so emotionally involved here that I just don't know what to do. I so desperately want to do the right thing for both of my children and it's a bit frightening when I don't know what that is!
