[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 166627, member: 84"] As a mother of 2 girls all I can say is that this stuff is gonna happen, and will get worse with time if easy child can't learn to deal with it now. easy child was more "popular" than Nichole, but both girls had to deal with the problem, so it may not have as much to do with actual popularity as it seems. I told my girls to play with whom they wanted, not to deliberately hurt feelings, and to be kind to everyone. But I also taught them that you simply can't please everyone and if you try it's gonna drive you batty. For those that got really catty, they usually ended up dumped as friends cuz I taught my girls that friends simply don't treat each other that way. For others, usually it just took some kind words and such to mend hurt feelings. easy child is a real people pleaser and I had much more trouble teaching her to cope with this sort of behavior than Nichole who took no nonsense from anyone. Eventually my girls learned to play with who they wanted and if someone wanted to pout about it then too bad. That's life. Awful that it starts so young isn't it? sheesh Hugs [/QUOTE]
