[quote=Anonymous]My 9 year old and her friends plan things a day or two before so they can check with parents, or ask a parent at pick up if they can have an unplanned play date, which based on the last two my daughter had, turn into sleepovers when they are on Friday night. I might start having her message friends on her iPad thru messenger, but I am slightly concerned about on-line miscommunication/snippiness. Some of her friends have a tendency to make a big deal about things she’s left out of, either as an ego boost for themselves or out of cluelessness about other kids’ emotions. I really don’t want another means for that, nor do I want her to act like that (I don’t think she does, based on the conversations I’ve overheard, but she might!) [/quote]
