[quote=Anonymous]This is happened to my kid. It is valuable lesson in adulting. As an older parent (GenX) it was also a valuable opportunity to play "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" and explain the significance of The Police/Sting on my childhood. Listen, it is when your kid has a safe space at home (which sounds like you are providing) that they learn the ability to experience loss and disappointment - the slings and arrows of being human. Have her own playdates. Find other friends. Be her own best friend. These are life skills here! If you love your friends, set them free. Controlling them does not work. [/quote]
