[quote=Anonymous]My girls and I talk a lot about what being "popular" is and what kind of people should be popular vs. the ones who are (often the mean girls, go figure!) Remind your daughter often about all the good qualities you see in her and how happy you are when you see/hear of her being a good friend. The best thing I can say (I have 3 older girls) is to actively work to support good friendships. Invite those girls over often and get to know them. My girls are in a K-8 so we know all the girls (and their families) well. It makes it easy to nip things in the bud as well as to help direct my girls toward kids I think would be better friends if troubles arise. Another thing I've noticed within our group of parents is we comment to each other when we see the girls doing nice things. My daughters are so proud when I say "Mrs. X told me about . . . It makes me so proud to know you are the kind of kid who does/says that." Positive reinforcement.[/quote]
