[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You have to call it out, have a session where you discuss it and then organize activities using neutral grouping- numbers out of hat, etc. You can't solve it all but you can make sure you don't support it. [/quote] I'm really worried about causing more drama by calling it out, though. I'm worried about embarrassing "Mary" by pointing out in public that the other girls are ignoring her. I'm pretty sure that the girls will say something like "We aren't! Here Mary come join out group" but behind their backs will be rolling their eyes at me, and at "Mary". We certainly do organize activities using "equity sticks" (I got that from a leader training) and counting off and such, but while that seemed to work when the girls were younger, now that they are 10 and turning 11 it isn't helping much with the girls wanting to do everything just with their friends.[/quote]
