[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is 11 and a rising 6th grader. I encourage certain friendships by saying "Do you want me to ask Larla's dad if he can sign her up for this cooking camp so the two of you can go together?" or "Shall I ask Larla's mom if she wants to meet us at the market and then go ice skating with you?" DD knows which of her friends I dislike and why. If those friends invite her to activities or they play at school, fine. But I won't spend time with those kids or encourage them spending time together. [/quote] If you don't mind me asking, but how often do you do this? Is your child pairing up with a school friend to do an activity together at least once a week? I ask because my DD wants a friend CONSTANTLY. She (11, too) has 3 friends she does outside-of-school stuff with, so I sometimes feel we are bugging them with invitations and they rarely reciprocate. (Maybe these families are home-bodies. IDK.)[/quote]
