[quote=Anonymous]I am sure it depends on the personality of the child so may not work with yours.  We told our ds that " billy" had been a friend of his for some time and we recognized that and that we were sure " billy" would grow up to be a fine man.  But, right now, it was not a good fit for him ( our ds.) Also, we said our ds was never to be unkind to " billy" but that he had to start keeping his distance from him.  We worked through a few scenarios if "billy " approached him at lunch or to hang out after school.  It worked and they drifted apart. I will say our son is pretty compliant and I do think at some level he recognized " billy" had some unhealthy things going on in his life so it all worked out.  I guess I am just sharing that we tried to keep it about timing, good choices, family issues on the other side that might influence behavior. We never wanted it to be about " we don't like him, bad kid, or anything like that.  Now, ds is only 13, not sure if it will be this easy at 16 or with a girlfriend![/quote]
