It crushed me when one boy picked on B (it went on for a few months and I had to get the teachers, the director and the other parent involved). Honestly, I judged the parent because there is no reason a child who is 4/5 should know the words/violence that this little boy used toward B. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-12-the-earliest-age-when-relational-aggression-has-been-detected#post-1669678 Fri, 30 May 2014 17:32:38 +0000 spaniellove 1669678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I still have awful memories of being in preschool and the mean girl in my class telling me she'd come and burn my house down but I couldn't tell anyone what she said. And then they put me in time out because I started crying and wouldn't tell them why! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-12-the-earliest-age-when-relational-aggression-has-been-detected#post-1669677 Fri, 30 May 2014 17:31:48 +0000 sandy 1669677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see it in 3 year olds and it breaks my heart </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-12-the-earliest-age-when-relational-aggression-has-been-detected#post-1669607 Fri, 30 May 2014 16:39:26 +0000 Kimberlybee 1669607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was crushed when my niece came home from kindergarten and cried because she was teased for having a mustache.

I know my daughter will go through it all, like I did. Even so, I'm sure the first time she comes home crying because she got left out, I will go to bed that night and cry my eyes out for her. </p> <p><a href="http://on.wsj.com/1imc1Xi" rel="nofollow">http://on.wsj.com/1imc1Xi</a> </p>
