[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two daughters and a son who are now teenagers. While they have all encountered at least some mean kids along the way. The overwhelming majority of their friends, fellow classmates, and teammates have been nice kids. That has been true for all their friends both boys and girls, but especially my daughters had wonderful supportive kind high school friends and teammates. I will say that around 9-10 is when there is a kicking to be popular that makes some kids mean to each other. The key to avoiding the majority of that is your kid not trying to use friendships to move up the social hierarchy. If your kid is constantly picking mean kids to befriend that might be what is going on. [/quote] Astute comment. This is a good time to talk to your child about her friendships and ask her what she likes about spending time with specific girls, especially if you have noticed a pattern of negative interactions with those girls.[/quote]
