[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her friend does seem to be holding her back but your DD is letting her. Teach your DD to say 'I'm doing the talent show and hope you will also." Tell your DD if friend chooses mot to join something that should not affect DD's decision making.[/quote] I agree with this. In an ideal world, a reasonable conversation with bff’s mom would lead to both of you socially engineering distance and boundaries between the two. But in reality, the bff will continue to pressure your daughter. If it’s happening now and they aren’t in the same class, there’s really not much you can do about what happens at school. Your daughter has to stop yielding to the bff as other posters have said. It’s not enough to have playdates with other kids. You have to flip the perspective of “bff is holding my daughter back” to “my daughter must learn to stand up for herself”. [/quote]
