In an ideal world you daughter would have taught your DG to deal with it herself. E.G. saying loudly, Don't bend my nails back it hurts."
So easy to think of when you're sitting quietly at home and the child isn't yours.

Aw bless her - it's lovely she's enjoying school though so it is best that her mum has brought it to the teacher's attention. Children can be cruel without really understanding why. I hope the teacher manages to stop the little boy's behaviour.

I would have had a quiet word with teacher too but then I don't know how chaotic class is in a morning or how approachable teacher is at that time . He / she may be just too busy to take much notice of parents so a letter is probably best . As long as it is a constructive one. It needed dealing with though as little girl is upset by it.

I would have been more inclined to have a quiet word with the teacher as a first step.

My granddaughter, who is five in October, started school two weeks ago. And she loves it! Comes home every afternoon, full of what she has been doing, and what she's learnt.

Fly in the ointment - a little boy who keeps pinching her wrists, and trying to, in her words - "Bend my nails back."

Her (very protective) mum is furious! And has, today, written a letter to the teacher, complaining about this.

Is she being over the top?
