[quote=Anonymous]This is such a tough age.  When they are little, there is usually a lot of tolerance of difference and kids will generally play with anyone.  At some point they start to develop independent personalities and some kids decide anyone with different tastes, interests or style than them is “weird.”  Some of them grow out of it.  Others never do and you see them commenting on dcum!  
Even if your daughter has previously been friendly with these girls, it’s time for her to find her tribe.  Find some clubs or a to kites this fall where she’s likely to find kindred spirits.

I’d also say that it is worth figuring out to what extent she’s deviating from social norms and whether it’s worth giving or getting her some coaching to at least recognize the norms (so she can decide for herself when she wants to deviate from them).  I don’t think people need to follow social cues or norms all the time, but they should at least be able to recognize them and decide when they want to be non-conforming.[/quote]
