[quote=Anonymous]I would require her to do a few diversified activities. Tell her it is for her high school or college application process, not to diversify her friends. Tell her she needs to be "well rounded" and that means having at least 4 activities/interests each year. 1) something intellectual/academic (chess club, mathletes, tutoring) 2) something service related (key club, scouts, service groups) 3) something physical (sports team, dance class, running club) 4) something religious/spiritual (CCD class, Sunday school etc.) you could add/interchange 5) something musical/art (instrument, chorus, photography) I don't really think kids need all these but TELL her they do. They don't all have to happen every week but she should be involved in lots of different groups during the year. That just diversifies her friend base, gives her things to be doing so she isn't always hanging around waiting for these girls to invite her to things.[/quote]
