They shouldn't be more complicated, OP. What are you seeing?

What's normal is that friendships change, [b]cliques form and break up, former friends gang up on each other... and then are best friends again the year after.

What's not normal is if your child does not have ANY friends at all, or makes friends but can't keep them. Social red flags.[/quote]

OP here. Seeing a lot of this. DC has a steady tried and true best friend and they rarely have issues. There's someone who was the best friend for 2 years who is now a frenemy-nice friend one week, mean the next. There are some friends who DC plays with now and then and there aren't issues, but they aren't close. There are a few girls and boys who can be real jerks yelling things like, "go away" "no you can't join our soccer game!" These same kids have been mean to other kids too and they have short fuses according to what I've seen, but they also are very into ganging up/trying to get other kids into exclusion. DC is fine with it all most days, but the days DC isn't break my heart and I just help DC problem solve.[/quote]

PP you quoted. Really, it's fine. Unless your child is being routinely targeted, in which case it's bullying and you ask for teacher intervention - which I had to do in 3rd grade for my kiddo.
