[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is in K and was telling me that her two closest friends (one a new friend from her classroom and one neighborhood friend who also started K at the same school but different classroom) fight over DD at recess.  This seems to have started when the new friend, A, invited DD over for a play date after school so DD didn’t take the bus that day. Usually she takes the bus home with neighborhood friend, B, who lives next door. When B found out DD was at A’s house for a play date I think it caused some jealousy. The next morning at the bus stop, I noticed something was off with B but didn’t think anything of it since DD seemed to not notice.

Now I find out today that there is this possessive friendship dynamic at school between these two girls regarding DD. I’m not sure if it’s one or both friends acting this way but I told DD not to let anyone tell her who she can and can’t be friends with and to suggest they all play together. But beyond that I’m not sure how to advise her.  Crazy this girl stuff starts this early.  Anyone been in a similar situation and any advice on how I should talk to DD about it?

It’s hard bc B lives next door and while we love the family and B and would love for them to continue to be friends, I want DD to be able to make new friends and even invite new friends over to our house without it igniting weird girl fights.[/quote]
