[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does everyone have to be friends w/ everyone? My kids don't have to be friends w/ everyone but they can't be rude, mean or exclusive. But just saying they're not friends? Without other circumstances, that in and of itself isnt' mean girl behavior.[/quote] I agree saying "We're not friends, I don't want to play with you" is not mean girl behavior. It's actually probably healthy because so often girls are taught to only be nice and not express their preferences. But saying "You can't play with Kiley -- she's [i]my[/i] friend" absolutely is exclusion and the beginnings of a mean girl dynamic. And that happens in K all the time.[/quote]
