[quote=Anonymous]DD had a friend who started to exclude all of the other girls. Late in the school year, she switched friends, and started excluding DD. DD was new at school, so she did not have a deep group of friends to draw from to begin with, so it was tough. The following school year, we had a "no BFF" rule. She had to find a group of friends, and never just one. It worked, as she built some enduring friendships, navigated some controlling ones, helped bring other kids "in", and everyone had a most wonderful time in 2nd grade. The "no BFF" rule stands in our home, and my son, now at that same age, is adopting it as well. Boys can play the same mean games, I find, but my son will be more prepared than DD was.[/quote]
