[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the response. I have a feeling there won’t be mean words said in the car while I’m present. Once they are dropped off and I’m no longer within ear shot, that is likely when exclusion and whatever sort of bullying tactics occur, will take place. [/quote] Well yes, but still, drawing the line where you can makes a difference. With tweens, what you say matters even though they'll never admit it, and you have to embrace taking the opportunity and not seeing the results. Coach your DD on ways to discourage this talk. Calling it boring can be a good one. "Larla, stop complaining about Karla, it's boring. [New topic]" And remind your DD that having a reputation as a gossip or a mean talker will make it harder for her to make other friends. [/quote]
