Let them know all the dangers, you know, the increasing levels of research that are showing that

you know, vapes are not harmless, that there are actually, you know, potential difficulties for his lungs, for everything else, the addictive nature of it, the nicotine, all that kind of stuff.

And that's what you're trying to do.

You're trying to persuade him that this is a bad thing for him to do and yet acknowledge that he's going to

100% speak to the minder, absolutely.

And it's not even about it being a phase.

I think if your daughter is saying to you that somebody's being mean to them, and presumably that means that they don't know how to deal with it themselves, then you have a responsibility to try and help them sort it out.

However, you don't know the extent to which this other child is being mean, or actually if this other child is being mean, and maybe...

you know, calling another child there, the child minders child mean is a way to say, I just don't like having to go to a child minders.

I don't like the fact that my day is so long.

I don't like the fact that I'm away from you for so long.

And that might also be part of it.

So, so the first thing to do is to try to establish with your daughter exactly what is happening, not just that she's been mean, but can you get any examples of specific behaviors?

Does she say mean things?

Does she do mean things?

Does she,

take you know particular toys away from you does she not let you play certain kinds of games what is it that the daughter is doing that's been mean and that then is what you go and talk to the childminder you know this other girl's mother just as you would any mother and say look you know i mean i'm not trying to cause trouble here you know but this is what my daughter's saying to me and it's causing her a lot of distress and obviously look we're delighted with the arrangement it works really well um and yet you know i don't you know she seems really upset about this you know have you any sense of it you know have you seen this happen and you know

Presumably the childminder will have this balance between being a professional but also being protective of her own daughter.

Hopefully that conversation then will go well.

But if there is an issue, at least the childminder is going to be alert to it now, which means that your daughter may well get fairer treatment in the childminder's home.
