[quote=Anonymous]This is really common for the age. Friendships shift a lot (and as someone else said- sometimes they find their way back to being friends again, sometimes not). It is stressful for girls and also can be hard to watch as a parent sometimes. Definitely do not ever interfere at this age by calling parents etc. Encourage your DD to maintain multiple friendships and not put all her eggs in one basket, keep busy with sports and activities, know that her friends are welcome at your home, and that you are available anytime she needs to talk. When she does talk, do more listening and asking open ended questions than advice-giving. Very very normal for girls this age, and (especially if she has not generally had any ongoing social issues) this too shall pass. I promise! Keep reminding yourself that this is a stage that most girls go through (and must go through) as they are growing up and learning social skills. [/quote]
