[quote=Anonymous]When I was a little girl, all my friends were boys. This was chiefly because of geography as mine was a neighborhood of boys. You are right to be concerned Girls and boys do naturally separate out later on in age. It's not anyone's fault but there came a point when the moms did not want to invite me to slumber parties because I was a girl. Boys and girls started to have crushes and I was the weird oddball that didn't fit in with my peer group. And now, parents often choose to do boy only or girl only parties just for an easy, seemingly "nice" way to cut down on birthday party invitee numbers. I did eventually make some friends who were girls but there was a weird transition period when I was lonely and felt left out of everything. I'd say to maintain the friendships she has now, but to also try to cultivate a couple of girl friendships because yes, it is good to have all kinds of friendships.[/quote]
