[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here -- sounds like clothes aren't the issue!  My 6th grader is always asking for Aeropostale and Hollister but those things sounds very nice and age-appropriate.  Agreed about Justice -- it's more for 4th and 5th graders.

Does she have good friends, just not the "popular" kids?  If so, I would also help her/encourage her to try to shore up those relationships.  DD went through this at the very end of 5th and she was able to get support from a couple of close friends and get through it.

Are the kids who are bugging her kids she knew in ES, or a new group?[/quote]

She has a few friends, but this year (6th grade) they got split up into different classes so she does not see them frequently. I like your idea of shoring up those relationships. We can schedule some sleepovers/weekend trips to the movies to help. She's also in some new activities after school, so we can foster some new friendships as well.

And these kids have been in her school for several years. (We're in FCPS and she's in an AAP center.)

Thanks so much for the great advice![/quote]
