[quote=Anonymous]Kids that age can be very blunt. If she said "why is your house so small? That's weird. I'm glad my house is big." I think that's pretty developmentally normal. I lived in a small, objectively crappy apartment for years, and her friends would comment, not necessarily from meanness but because it was unusual to them. I encouraged my daughter to see the positive in our home (live next to a park, live across the street from a little store where we can get popsicles and candy, we hang out a lot together. It's a slow process of teaching kids to be polite and not say bluntly hurtful things and to also teach them that their worth isn't based on what others think.[/quote]
