[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Popular kids are absolutely a thing in elementary -- emerging in 4th, definitely a thing in 5th.

For girls, looks -- particularly actually caring that you look nice (hair done, "cool" clothes) -- is part of it.  But at this age it is more that they are also socially mature -- by that I mean they have good EQ.  They are confident and poised.  They are out going and social -- they prioritize making and spending time with their friends, and they are good at making friends.  They know how to have a conversation.  They are not awkward or shy.  They are fun, but they are no longer too silly or wacky or babyish in how they interact.  They grew out of all the annoying social habits that kids have -- they are not too rigid or know-it-allish.  Socially mature and out-going kids who want to interact with other socially mature and out-going kids, and they also care about looking nice too.  [/quote]

That would make me so sad as a parent. What’s the rush to grow up? Let the kids be kids.[/quote]

It’s sad; and ironically immature.[/quote]
