[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are kids who are well-liked and kids who are “cool.” They are not always the same.

“Cool” kids might have nice houses, fancy cars, great clothes. Other kids might envy them, but they may also be vastly unliked. I would not worry about my child being uncool.

Well-liked kids care about each others’ feelings, make other kids feel good, don’t cross boundaries, etc. They are not always “cool.” I do make sure my kids are well-liked. I make sure they are kind, caring and considerate[/quote]

Rich does not equal cool. I have a shy nice boy who does not like attention. He seems well liked but is not very social. He is labeled a rich kid. He is definitely not cool.

I have two other social kids. I don’t think they are cool either. One is normal socially and one is very popular meaning he has a lot of friends and invited to many outings, parties and hang outs.[/quote]

Uncool does not mean unpopular. My kids are uncool, well-liked and very popular. If you have kind, considerate kids, respectful, well-mannered kids, especially ones who are funny, you don’t need to worry about them being socially excluded for being uncool or not well-off or having divorced parents, etc[/quote]

I was listening to a podcast that said popular kids and adults are friendly social people who like a lot of people so they like others and others like them.

If you don’t like others or don’t like interacting socially, you are not going to be popular. It is less about looks or money and definitely not about the parents. I don’t want to read the whole thread but I’m fairly certain the OP thinks her kid is being excluded because she is a single mom.[/quote]
