[quote=Anonymous]I have read a bunch of threads lately where posters accused parents of being too involved in their tween and teen kids social lives when the parent says they are worried about their child and their child's social life. There are lots of "when I was a kid" and " let kids figure out" and " once kids hit middle school it doesn't matter because they pick their own friends." I used to be one of those posters but then my DD hit middle school this year and I realized that the parents - overwhelmingly moms - are still very much involved in social politics and engineering for their kids and it does lead to exclusion in out of school socializing even when the kids themselves would like to hang out. I came across this article today that explains and lays out scenarios of how it happens : http://community.today.com/post/being-left-out-hurts-lets-stop-social-engineering-now?cid=sm_fbn [/quote]
