[quote=Anonymous]OP, it would help to know a little more. Since you see this frequently and seem to know a lot about the kids, are you--a teacher? A Girl Scout leader? Someone in some kind of relationship with these kids, like an instructor or coach or volunteer parent in some extracurricular (or in-school) activity in which all three participate?

I'm just trying to figure out (a) how you observe this and (b) whether you are in a position where you can say, "I see this and you need to be aware of your actions and stop them." If this were my GS troop we'd be nipping it in the bud right away like that, believe me. It might be a bit harder if you're observing it from the sidelines of other activities where if you say something you might make it worse.

It may be that the girl being excluded needs a push toward just doing without the other two and going off to do her own thing with another set of kids, if this is purely social. In that case, the excluded girl might be the one to work with, to direct her toward better friends in that situation/class/meeting/whatever.

Or it may be a situation where these three are required to be together or work together (team project? sports team? dance class where they have to work together?....) and then a talk to the other two might be required. [/quote]
