My 7 y/o is having a rough time in her after-school program. Most of the other girls are older and into the whole popularity contest, so she doesn't really play with them. The staff and I have been encouraging her to branch out her friendships, since summer is coming soon and she will be there all day. (The other kids never reject her, she just doesn't play with them because they were once mean to her good friend). Today the staff told me that she made an extremely rude comment to her friend about two other girls, which her friend then told to the other girls. The staff tried to sit them all down together, but my daughter hid her face and cried through the whole thing.
My plan is to have a serious talk with her about her behavior and explain to her that we NEVER make these kids of comments about other people and have her write an apology note to the girls. Would you say that's an appropriate consequence?
