[quote=Anonymous]I don't know why all of these posters think OP's kid is lying when she says that there is no exclusion going on between her and the other girl. Haven't you ever been privy to a pre-teen girl (or boy) overreacting? My daughter (who is 10) comes home every other week with a tale of woe about how no one likes her or someone was mean to her. Later, I find out that she was just upset/exaggerating. If I tried to fight everyone of those battles, I would be confronting kids  at the schoolyard constantly...and I would be wrong, just like the other mom MIGHT be in this situation.

Ergo, I don't fight my kid's battles. I discuss the issue with her, and ask her what she thinks the best course of action is, and try to steer her toward finding the solution within herself, not by moderating the actions of others. I hope this will make my child successful when she grows up and goes out into the world. I fear this other mother's child might learn this same lesson rather late in life. [/quote]
