[quote=Anonymous]I posted already but I’ll echo that girls this age don’t really judge each other by clothes…that comes later. And social groups aren’t really demarcated by clothes at this age either. iME, girls this age can be weird about shyness. So if they say hi to a girl and the girl doesn’t really respond, they assume the girl doesn’t like them, or isn’t interested in being friends. Weird things like that—it’s a transitional phase when they are past the little kid “everyone my friend!” Stage but don’t yet have the social skills to figure out more complex relationships. So if your niece is shy, you may want to be a little more proactive in talking to the teacher, reaching out to peers’ moms to suggest get-together, signing her up for after school stuff, etc. On the positive side, I think 4th grade is waaay easier than 6th or 7th grade. Then I think it gets easier again. 6th seems to be peak social rigidity for girls. [/quote]
