Come on. Don't be ridiculous. When your kids wants to join in a game at recess and the other girls say "NO!" and run away from you how do you ignore that? Is your solution that the kid who just wants to play should know their place and never even ask? Just sit there on a bench alone? No.[/quote]

This reads like you really want your kid to be in the “in crowd” and are fighting reality. 2nd-3rd grade is old enough for kids to flock towards people they enjoy spending time with. [/quote]

Can we agree to ignore this PP? Saying it’s ok for 7 and 8 year olds to be left out at school because others want to only play with kids they “flock towards” is insane.

Kids don’t have any choice over whether or not they are at school! A certain level of kindness and inclusion in a compulsory education environment should be required and expected by parents.[/quote]

Flip the script… Your kid comes home and tells you someone is chasing her around the playground and kicking and screaming to be included. You would tell your child to ignore them.

It depends.  
If they have mutual friends and are all playing tag together or whatever, I would tell my daughter to deal with whatever she didn’t like or find other people to play with.

I wouldn’t tell her to tell the other kids not to play with the girl she finds annoying and to taunt her together.

What advice are you giving your daughter? Stop moving the goal posts. I’m not asking what advice you’re giving your daughter for her to turn around and give to other kids. 
 I’m telling my kid she doesn’t need to engage with someone hanging off of her and begging her to be besties. [/quote]

I’m not moving the goal posts.  I tell my daughter to deal with it if the kids all want to play tag together.  It’s not okay to tell everyone that they have to choose between my daughter and this other little girl.
