[quote=Anonymous]By this age, most kids instinctively know what popularity is. If they walk into a classroom at a different school, they would be able to pick out who was popular fairly quickly. Kids are popular because they have a talent, fame, material possession, or physical quality that stands out. This is the kid who is the best gymnast, has an actress mom, has a huge house, is always told how pretty she is, etc. Then there are kids that are popular because they have positive personality traits that make people want to be around them. These are the kids who are kind, friendly, funny without joking at the expense of others, fair, and trustworthy. And it’s possible and very common to be in both categories. Once my kids reached that stage of elementary where they were conscious of popularity, we discussed this and it helped them to “see through” kids who were popular for the wrong reasons and to look for the good eggs.
