[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you handle the situation when DC and the longtime, small group of friends decide to drop one friend from the group? The one kid being left out still tries to invite the “friends” to do things but they are “not available.” Do I stand back and let the tweens sort it out? Or should I have a conversation with my DC about why the group is doing this? Should I encourage DC to just tell the one kid that they are no longer friends? The kid being excluded often finds out they were left out after the fact but is still trying to be friends. I’d rather not get involved but can’t decide if this is something that needs to be addressed. [/quote]

Been on both sides. Please Do not have your son tell the other child they don’t want to be friends with them. That is so mean. If there’s a large gathering of friends encourage your child to include that friend but don’t force your dc to hang out with them one on one or with one or two people. That’s my advice because that’s what I would want done with my child. [/quote]
