[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think inclusive behavior should be commonplace at this age. Invite the whole class to the birthday party; include as many as possible on the playdate. Look for opportunities to connect, not shun. Reach out to the shy person. Have an open-door policy when feasible. Good lord. Our world is mean enough already.[/quote] I know, right? If you can have a party for the class it means a lot to lonely kids. This is elementary school, not high school. Teach your child empathy. My popular daughter was surrounded by exclusive bullies and they sickened me. My not so popular son heard all about the parties that he wasn’t invited to and it was sad. It’s such a small thing to include everyone in the class when they are young and they have a great time. An easy way to make a difference to the kid everyone ignores. And I do understand if your child has someone bullying her making her life miserable not to invite them. [/quote]
