[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has become friends with a kid who I don’t think is a great influence based on my observations of this child in various settings. The problem is that I obviously can’t control who she hangs out with during school and before realizing the child’s behavior is not great, we signed DD up for a couple of the same activities outside of school. She was excited about having a friend to do things with. They aren’t year round activities, so there is an end point, but it feels like that time can’t come fast enough. We have had so many conversations with our DD about her behavior and good and bad influences and making choices etc. I’m exhausted. This child still seems to be rubbing off on her. Do I just need to ride this out and once the activities are over make sure we limit non-school interaction? Will this friendship fade or will I have to deal with this for the rest of elementary school? I know there’s always potential for another similar friendship to come along. But she’s friends with other sweet girls and I just wish she would focus more of her attention on them instead of this one person who is very sassy and has a queen bee type personality. DD is 9 years old. Ugh. [/quote]

What activities? Can you pull her out or steer her toward other activities?[/quote]
