Hi,
My daughter will be 4 yr in Dec. She goes to school and is friendly with neighbourhood children as well as the children at the creche and very active in school.However a small incident has chenged and she does not participate in class activities or play with school friends.

She had become very good friends with her classmate a boy also 4 yrs old, who also happens to stay in our building. Both of them got along very well. A couple of days back both had a fight and he hit her. Since then they have not been talking to each other.
This boy was very fond of her and wanted to only play with her, and other boys in teh building began pulling his leg and telling him that he is a boy and should be friends with boys not girls. So he started telling my daughter \";You are not my friend\"; Iam not playing with you etc....and in school also he says teh same tHi,
hing. I initally ignored it as kids do have their tiff with eachother, But have noticed this has affected her, She has stopped interacting with other children and even not writing in class. Most of teh time she is daydreaming. Her class teacher also mentioned that my daughter was very active in class but now does not talk to anyone nor is she writing. Most of teh time she is daydreaming. Teh teacher also knows about these two not talking to each other.

Iam concerned that my daughter is very sensitive and has taken this incident to heart and it is affecting her school life. Once she returns from school she becomes very aggressive and throws tamtrums for any small and lame reason.

Please guide me how to handle this situation.
