[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd tell her "to get good friends you have to BE a good friend" and then point to situations where she can be a good friend. [/quote] We’ve talked about how to be a good friend. I think she’s considered a nice person, and she told me the other day that one of her friends said “You’re maybe too nice.” I think it’s hard for her to make good friends because 1) everyone already has their bestie or clique, and 2) kids this age are attracted to kids they think are cool, funny and/or popular, rather than just nice. I think not having friends last year made her on the margins “uncool”, and chances are she won’t be able to overcome this until she changes schools/goes to middle school. Because she is nice, she has friends, but those friends will always prefer their original bestie or someone they deem cool over her.[/quote]
