Actually it has gotten so much better! The bully has been gone for just over a week, and today was the first day that there was no screaming and no crying because of it Playfelt's advice made me start thinking more about how I could distract her from it and also teach her a way to cope. She loves singing songs, so I started not just singing a song myself (which I had tried before), but asking her to sing Twinkle Twinkle (her favourite song) and it worked! She started singing and forgot about the screaming and the crying And once she was no longer crying, everyone else stopped screaming because it was no longer fun. I will continue using this method for her when things upset her more than they should...I am so happy to have found a way to help her calm herself Thanks playfelt for helping me on this path
