[quote=Anonymous]There have to be groups the Queen Bee girl is not controlling or a part of, right? When my kids have had trouble or are being excluded by a group (happened to both of them) I asked them to visualize the lunchroom or recess and go through all the options of pairs and groups or individuals they could approach to sit with/play with. They would do it out loud and describe all the social dynamics to me. Well this table or this pair or group is over here doing this. In both cases, it ended up making them realize there were other options. They get tunnel vision and in their brains they don't even see other social options when they are right there. I think for kids it feels terrifying to think of going "down" a social notch. But just empower them to realize there are many options and they have agency and control. She doesn't have to just hang around getting rebuffed and feeling like crap.[/quote]
