If Erin's fine and the teacher confirms that, then that's all you can ask for. She doesn't need your help here, and that's a beautiful thing!Melissa Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731029701221962434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121990538298585863.post-81448557763521039982010-01-16T15:12:52.523-05:002010-01-16T15:12:52.523-05:00My daughter seems pretty unswayed by the situation...My daughter seems pretty unswayed by the situation, and enjoys school.

I would not call the other mom. Chances are things will resolve on their own- these things tend to. I completely agree with the comment above- your child does not need to be friends with everyone, but must treat others kindly. I would continue to ask DD how things are going at school, who did she play with, how's Libby, etc... to make sure your daughter is doing OK at school. <br /><br />JSNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121990538298585863.post-34014901631965307832010-01-16T12:47:56.224-05:002010-01-16T12:47:56.224-05:00Yep--unless it becomes an issue where your daughte...Yep--unless it becomes an issue where your daughter is doing something wrong, it's fine to leave it alone. The teacher may not know how to deal with it, or perhaps she feels deeply for kids who are left out--who knows?<br /><br />I am not sure about bringing it up with Libby's mom. If you do, just make sure that neither of your are have any expectations of the other solving it--that's for the girls to figure out, especially since they are not actually fighting or anything. Perhaps you can just wait it out for now and see what happens. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121990538298585863.post-50600926681604170142010-01-16T10:22:11.858-05:002010-01-16T10:22:11.858-05:00Sound advice, my friend.Sound advice, my friend.Daishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517584283479000601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121990538298585863.post-75615535719287820352010-01-16T10:19:08.101-05:002010-01-16T10:19:08.101-05:00Jas had a similar situation last year with a girl ...Jas had a similar situation last year with a girl that is again in her class. I do not believe that everyone must be friends with everyone. I told Jas that she did not need to be with friends with this girl, BUT she did need to be nice and respectful. This relieved Jas a lot, because she was very stressed with the fact that the teacher said that she HAD to be friends with this girl and the girl was forcing Jas to alienate from the rest of the class and she did not want that. Once I gave Jas "permission" to do what she felt was right for her, the situation resolved it's self for the most part. Occasionally Jas will come home and tell me that she played with the girl yesterday and today the girl was giving her problems because she was playing with someone else. Jas tells the girl that "yesterday was your turn and today is someone else's." Give your DD the power to make her own choices and just keep an eye on things.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11819731140491662565noreply@blogger.com
