[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I facilitated my DD having multiple friend-groups so if she had a bomb in one friend group, she wasn't left friendless.  Also, I encouraged her to befriend the kind kids, and to be low drama. I talked about my own friendships (both the ones I had at her age, and my current ones) and explained my logic in approaching situations. [b]She saw me assume the best many times, like "I miss Grace, I haven't heard from her in two months. It's really stressful moving to a new state by yourself while working full time and then immediately breaking your leg. I can't be angry at her for not reaching out to me - the last thing she needs is another difficultly to deal with!"[/b] Or "Bianca left without saying goodbye or thank you, after I put in so much work on this party. I know she was really stressed about getting home safely so had to jump on that offer Keri and Joel made to drive her home."  So while maybe she couldn't relate to the exact issues I'd have, she'd see me extending grace, and hear my friends extended grace to me (like when I forgot a friend's birthday when my grandmother died and we had to put our dog to sleep in the same weekend).

OMG- why not teach your daughter how to reach out to a friend first?? Poor woman moved and broke her leg? I’d have flown out there to help her out.[/quote]
