[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teach them to say “may I sit with you?”[/quote] Bad and good advice at the same time. I get it. Yes speak up for yourself. But we are talking about 13,14 year olds who are terrified of rejection. Not everyone at the table is going to be nice and say “of course”. Teach your kids to say “come with with us!” [/quote] I think this is good advice. Most kids would say, "sure." Being nice is the default for most. It is more awkward to tell someone no. I'm sure there are a-hole kids, but your child probably knows who they are. Surely there are lots of nice kids during that lunch period that your child vaguely knows but may not know well enough to consider them a personal friend. Those the the kids you ask to join. [/quote]
