[quote=Anonymous]Help your DD focus on other friendships. Get together with other people. Do not let the "BFF" claim all her social time outside of school. If your DD says "BFF doesn't want to go to the party, so I'm not sure" you say "what do YOU want to do?" and help walk her through it. It's hard for her to let down a friend. That's a good thing. But it also doesn't mean she has to be beholden to it. Help her find space. They may stay friends, which is fine, but it's important this other child has space to find other friends too. Most children aren't served well by having one singular best friend above all else. Because kids grow and change.[/quote]
