Life Span of Relational Aggression
Preschool: (Girls are more than boys)
Ann and Susan playing at recess. Tiffany comes over and starts to talk. They covered their ears to block her out.
Jill and David were playing dress-up in a corner. David put on a hat that Jill wanted.
They argued back and forth until Jill said, “I’m not going to be your friend anymore.” David still kept the hat. Jill then said,” I won’t be your BEST FRIEND.” David gave in.
