[quote=Anonymous]As someone who was never very popular and excluded from many things -- I would say the very worst thing you can do is make a deal out of this. Help your daughter learn to say 'not everyone is invited everywhere, whatev' or one simple statement of something about 'sometimes parents set limits on party numbers' (or something that explains away without being too invested in it -- and then without bringing up the party again -- find something else to do that night that is super fun. Do not make it in anyway overtly about anything in relation to the party, just go and experience there is lots of fun to be had in the world in different ways. Friendships still ebb and flow a lot in elem & into middle school. Keep lines and minds open about other kids and families. [/quote]
