[quote=Anonymous]It is perfectly normal and you largely have to let it play out. So long as she is not cruel, she has to learn these lessons for herself. DD largely changed her friend group in 7th but that had more to do with their priorities diverging. She didn't gravitate to the popular girls but to girls who were less materialistic, less boy crazy, and, frankly, more aligned with the values we espouse in our home. I give her credit for trying new ECs and staying after school to hang out and trybro make a new friend group. Worst case scenario for your DD: She realizes what matters most to her and maybe she has a tough year or so if she tries to go back to the old friend and they have moved on. Valuable life lesson and, while it hurts to see your kid hurting, sometimes they have to learn life's lessons the hard way. [/quote]
