[quote=Anonymous]This is so common at this age. I had this friend in childhood. My daughter had this friend at age 8. Things you can do: -100 percent reinforce for your own child what is acceptable and what is not. Look on the bright side this is not a peer you don't like when the kid is older. You have a lot more control of a kid this age and how they're spending their time. Limit interactions but don't think you're going to stop interactions entirely. Lots of conversations with your own child where the point is not the friend, the point is making good choices for herself. -Ask the school for your child not to be in class with the girl next year if she is in class with her now. My mother did this. I did this. It helped a lot. Once we did that, we had one outside activity with the girl and it was very manageable. [/quote]
