Posted on Wed, 25 Dec 2019
Question: my 14 years daughter was slapped by her dance teacher in school infront of other students just for touching the mic during practice,she is studying (8th)with the directors daughter in the class.The directors daughter gets most of the attention and is given prefrence aswell.My daughter though her friends are in school is not happy here.After this incident she has become more against the school and specially the director,she also has a very big habit of comparing her self with the daughter,almost all comparison are made with her,even at home.She always feels she is not given ful justice,generally she is a very extrovert girl and likes to lead in her class, It is a difficult situation for us,how do we explain to her ,she is turning against the school alot.Do you recommend we take action against the school for hitting the child,will our action effect the child in the negative way?The school has not made us meet the teacher who slapped my daughter or the director or principal not faced us even after 3 days which is troubling us as well.I would also like to add my daughter has developed a feeling that she should be given more importance over my younger daughter at home,please suggest accordingly,also changing her school should be an option?

Hi Mam,
Welcome to ask a doctor service,

I have gone through your query in detail and can certainly understand your concern towards your daughter.

Yes, it could be some difficult situation for your daughter to face at her age , so might be difficult to adjust to the situation apparently.

Anyway, it can be explained to her by giving some kind of logical answers which can be done in cognitive behavioral therapy.

Brief Answer:
It might not have even positive effect on her

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back

Yes, actually it is a kind of therapy that could be done in 6-12 sessions depending on the child response.

So, taking action against might not have much impact on your child understanding, as these can be felt as different schemas that would formulate her development but not as a temporary situation.

So, it is advisable to target it from the roots.

Hope you understand my explanation.
Thank you.
