[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd is going through a similar dynamic with her friend. In some instances I can see elements of jealousy (my dd daughter has a sibling dynamic that the friend doesn’t and so the friend put down other parts of my dd’s life). Other times it seems to be a control issue. Mostly we are working on helping our daughter feel empowered to make her own decisions in the friendship (“how does it make you feel” “what could you tell her to get her to stop?” “That’s her opinion - what is your opinion?”) Were also hoping they are in different classes next year. [/quote] +1, could have written this comment. I've seen it both ways, OP, so you'll have to clarify. Kids this age making a comparison/being blunt/rude but not intending meanness in any way, and also kids who must ALWAYS make everything a competition and are trying out exclusion and other anti-social tactics.
