[quote=Anonymous]It started in k just a couple things and has increased every year (my DD is in third). Honestly They all do it to some extent or go along with it but they do figure it out. My daughter gets extremely frustrated with friends who are very possessive (e.g. can’t play with me if you play with Larla) and I don’t think has ever done much of that herself but she probably would not tell me if she did! I think she’s done a good job just taking space from girls who were being controlling or unkind and has also give second chances and that’s really worked out - a girl she had a hard time with in first is now one of her closest friends.

I did get the American girls books and my daughter liked them. I think it normalized to her that this happens a lot and isn’t a judgment on her or her friends. There is a metaphor in one book that friendship can be like a dance and sometimes you might feel very close to one person and then later you might not feel so close but that’s ok. That has really helped her not feel like issues are going to be the end of all her friendships. But honestly if your daughter isn’t bothered, you might just want to wait and see.[/quote]
