[quote=Anonymous]Understanding that it is hard for kids to put things into perspective, perhaps you could try explaining that the bus ride is just a short part of the day, its purpose is to get you to and from school, etc. You mentioned that she has some friends at school and/or in her classroom, so maybe focus on "riding the bus so that you can go see your friends at school." My DD often wants to play with girls who don't want to play with her and I try to point out that there are other fish in the sea, so to speak, and how she probably wouldn't want to be friends with the mean girls anyway. Point out how their behavior is not nice and how to act appropriately in the situation. I like PPs suggestion of having her look around for someone else who might be lonely on the bus. [/quote]
