[quote=Anonymous]Agree with everyone else- help her build new friendships. Ask the teacher who'd be a good fit for playdates and start there, but try to facilitate relationships with multiple kids. Bonus if she can find different friends in different settings (neighborhood friends, school friends, soccer friends, church friends, etc). My DD didn't quite have the same situation, but similar. Basically the close friend wanted to own DD and punish her through mean comments, threats, etc. if DD played with other kids. Aside from helping her branch out and build other friendships, some of which she already had but we just needed to help her spend more time with those other kids, we also read books and talked a lot about what makes a good friend and that the choice is hers who to associate with/ no need to spend time with people who make you feel small.[/quote]
