[quote=Anonymous]I have a 10 y/o DD and we just had her birthday party and I would say this is in the range of normal. I’m not saying it’s ok but sometimes in a group setting kids feel emboldened to speak rudely and are counting on the fact that you aren’t going to call them out. Many of these kids wouldn’t act like this on a one on one playdate. At this age they’re also experimenting with acting older or appearing older by mimicking what they think is cool. Again I don’t think it’s ok but if they don’t typically do this I wouldn’t immediately cut them off any future social plans. I think it’s also important to teach your DD to stand up for herself especially in her home. A little humorous clap back can help stop this behavior. If you find this behavior is happening frequently with the same kids then don’t have them over. They clearly are not getting feedback at home that this is not ok.[/quote]
