[quote=Anonymous]I have a second grader, and the message I give her is this: you don't have to be friends with everyone, but you do need to be kind to everyone. Not all personalities click, and that's true for both children and adults, so I don't think parents can really force a friendship. I think the other child's mother would have been better off reaching out to the school counselor for help fostering friendships than reaching out to another parent. Parents can talk to kids at home, but they aren't there at recess and it's hard to facilitate from afar. A counselor or recess aide, on the other hand, can help in person. [/quote]
