[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is early mean girl stuff and we started seeing it in kindergarten (last year). Typically from girls who have older sisters.[/quote] +1. My daughter is in PreK (but the cut off is early, so a lot of girls turn 5 in June/July before school starts - so older kids than what one might expect) and this is definitely happening. It's also more girls with older sisters. There is nothing wrong with kids voicing their preferences, but saying "you're my friend, I don't want to play with you" is hurtful. Let's not pretend that a girl who is told that by one or more of her peers is not going to go home and feel bad and not want to go to school or be out at recess. Empathy and kindness are just as important as having preferences. But OP, I wouldn't exclude the mean girl from your daughter's birthday (but I don't blame you for thinking about it).[/quote]
