[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Effective parenting involves teaching YOUR OWN CHILD how to navigate the world, not manipulating the world for your child's comfort. Tell her both her and her daughter's lives will be much easier once she reframes her entire outlook on life.

She needs to talk to Alice about not taking everything personally and how to break into a group appropriately and to stop expecting others to solve the problem on the other side of the interaction. [/quote]

+1. Alice is going to be a very entitled tween/teem/adult with a low threshold for feeling rejected if her mom doesn’t get therapy and parent coaching. This is not an Alice problem. It’s a mom and dad problem. Alice needs to understand she has agency and can change her situation. Alice needs to understand she is resilient and can play with different people and try different things and that a friend not explicitly inviting her to play at recess does not mean the friendship is over. I have a first grader who is well aware of all of this, so I’m sad that Alice isn’t learning really valuable skills.

Maybe you can suggest a book or a podcast on this topic to her mom? Maybe Alice’s teacher can do that too. [/quote]
