[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 359970, member: 1991"] OK, the parent here is the one on the spot. There have been a range of opinions put forward here and all of it is valid. I think it is now time for the parental instinct to be considered. After all - this could be any little girl and it could just be normal push and shove of little girl friendships. Or it might be more. Only the mother on the spot can really say what her gut feelings are. All I'm saying - if the parent instinct is saying, "Hmm, I think this might be more, possibly," then that is enough to go get things checked out. If the evaluation comes back that it's just normal girl stuff, and if tat set's a mother's mind at rest - then at least you know, at least it was checked out. But if an early evaluation turns up something, hopefully mild, that can benefit from some early intervention - then it is good to find out early, so that she can streamline in to a normal socialisation program. Here's hoping it's just kids being kids. Girls especially at this age can be really nasty and controlling with one another, despite parents doing their best to teach "niceness". And maybe it's cultural - we do get kids like that over here, but form my experience with my own girls and their classmates - it was the ones who behaved like tis who have turned out to have some sort of problem. And the ones whose parents just shrugged it off, who have bigger problems now the girl is older. So maybe in Australia, because of the subtle cultural differences, this IS a good indicator of other problems compared to what is 'normal' in the US, for example. Not saying you guys are weird. Or we are. Just that we're all different. Marg [/QUOTE]
