[quote=Anonymous]I think what pps are saying is typical op, but like anything there are outliers. Especially for family friends I think it can be different but generally even if girl girl family friends will have some ups and downs in closeness too around these ages. Kids start to have more specific interests and develop friends outside of family friends that really align, it is very normal even if you all had the same sex. That being said - we have neighbors where girl/boy have been friends since very little and are now in early high school and i just heard the boy say recently that the girl is his best friend. They stayed close all through middle school. This is a unique friendship and not super typical, but it can happen especially if neither are super on one end of extremes in more stereotypes of their gender if that makes sense.

But yeah I think it is good to teach your daughter it isn't ever ok to leave someone out for any reason really, but especially giving specific examples - it's not ok to leave someone out because they are a boy or a girl, it's not ok to leave someone out because they have a different skin color then you, or they look different then you. I find kids need very specific guidance on these things.[/quote]
