[quote=Anonymous]I talk to my kids a lot about how it’s healthy to have a range of friends - both as a child and as an adult. Different friends and friend groups may meet different needs and - quiet honestly - some times you may just need breaks from friends and that is okay. Just like I want them to have branch out and not just stick with a small core group of friends, it’s healthy for their friends to have other friends. We change up play dates and interactions so we get a variety of experiences with different personalities. What is not healthy is having a group of friends that you cannot do anything or go anywhere without. Our biggest social issues have been with overly clingy friends who think they “own” my kids friendship and don’t want them to socialize with other people. [/quote]
