Like anyone, she has her "blue" moments and I've noticed that she tends to dwell on things like this. Her father and I always point out positive things to help improve her mood. Thank you, Scott. :)

Not for self defense, but for confidence and self esteem. It would help her to not feel powerless, overwhelmed, and intimidated in these situations. Plus it's good exercise.

With a 50% divorce rate, I would bet there are a great majority of kids in her class in the same situation. That clown oughta be careful, what goes around comes around! The clown's dad is probably the UPS driver. The best you can do is be there for her like you always are. I think somehow you have to help her to feel proud of her situation and not ashamed or embarrassed. My son used to brag to kids that he was lucky because he has two dads instead of just one when they wondered why my last name is different from his. Maybe it would help if she felt she's defending your honor. She may feel alone, but she is hardly alone.
