Is it normal for grade 2 girls to be upset over conflict with other kids?

My daughter gets upset because of how some kids treat her or what they say. Then she is upset because she wasn't allowed to tattle. Is it normal for kids this age to suddenly be trying to figure out how to handle conflict and all that.. in grade one the kids were so sweet, now they are changing and my daughter doesn't know what to do with mean kids and becomes upset... (even if it is just her being sensitive sometimes)...

Answer:
Girls are always fighting with each other you will find out as time goes by. I have found it best to listen and then forget it. As soon as they are mad at each other soon they will be back being friends. Its a normal thing for them. Tell her not to hang out with the mean kids but its not gonna help much. I do agree to talk to her and see if its something you can fix- for instance if they tease her about her clothes or hair then maybe you can fix those things.
kids can be mean, at all ages. she should learn how to handle conflict...kids arnt as young as they used to be.
yes because bulling starts early in child hood a got bullyed and teased in grad school, it can scare you for life. you sould tell the teacher,
She shouldn't be tattling unless it's something SERIOUS. Teachers do not consider teasing serious.

She needs to tell the kids who are giving her a hard time that they need to "grow up" and find something better to do. After she says that, she needs to ignore them. If she's not paying any attention to them, eventually, the teasing will get old, and the mean kids will find a new target.

It's normal for her to get upset. As long as she's teased, no matter what the age, she will get upset.
You better get to the teacher and ask what's the real problem.
Maybe someday, it will get worst.

Or maybe she's just not to comfortable in the new Atmosphere. In that case, it's normal. It will past.
You need to speak to her teacher. Her teacher is the only person who spends as much time with her as you do so it's very important to team up and help your daughter. Have a meeting and discuss what your daughter is telling you versus what the teacher is seeing in class with the other students. Tell the teacher that if she is not letting your daughter "tattle" then you blame her (the teacher.) After all, how can your daughter get through this if the teacher refuses to let her say that there is a problem. At this stage children don't know how to deal with conflict and at the same time they feel that they are always in the right so it's normal that she doesn't feel that she contributes to these problems, which is why she seems sensitive to you. You can play games with her that will build her confidence and make her feel better about herself. Once she feels better about herself it will be easier to talk to her about personal matters.
Keep in mind that kids can be cruel. She might be having a hard time at school. I doubt that she's being overly sensitive. She is just reacting to the way she is being treated. Her reaction is completely normal.
Take this from someone that got picked on A LOT in grade school. I still remember most of it and I am 21 now. Ask your daughter specfically what these kids did or said. It could be something really minor that you can teach your daughter to handleor it may be something serious. Teachers are leaving kids to handle things a lot on their own these days because they are scared about the boundaries that exist now a days. I was picked on a lot for the hand me down clothes I wore and how poor my family was. My mom helped me with this by taking out fashoin magazines and making my hand me downs look a lot like them. Don't make a big deal about it unless these kids are using foul language. The one thing my mom told me always to tattle on is if kids gave me crap about being an illegitment child from a single parent home. Somethings she is probally blowing out of proportion and some things she may not be. TALK TO HER. The teacher probally doesn't know much more than you. The only one that knows what is going on is your daughter.
of course it is normal for her to be upset. Don't you get upset if you have a fight with a friend? Grade 2 is just the beginning. Apparently grade 3 girls are really bitchy. Mine are just going into grade 2 in a few weeks. Hope we avoid it but I doubt it. Let her talk it through but if it gets too bad have a chat to the teacher
Of course it is. Unfortunately, that is the age where girls especially start forming up into cliques and can be quite mean to each other. You just have to be a good parent, keep her on the straight and narrow, and even role-play scenes with her so she will know how to handle things. However, if someone is bullying her, that is different, and you should contact the teacher and principal.
Of course it's normal. Why wouldn't she get upset? She is growing up and as kids get older, there is more conflict.
