[QUOTE="DDD, post: 232322, member: 35"] What a creative and caring way to approach the situation. Having your daughter write certainly was a great gateway to future discussion. Did she tell you exactly who the girls is, when they met, if they share a class or two etc.? I would think that information would flow if there is no reason for concern. Evidently my references to avoiding confrontation sounded accusatory in some way. I did not intend that to happen. From experience I know that many parents (myself included) don't recognize the changes that take place in early teens and see issues as confrontations. That part of my response to your post was a suggestion to avoid power struggles if possible as opposed to following some previously made suggestions. That's the best part of the CD family, I think. We often see things in entirely different ways and reading the diverse opinions allows each of us to find our own comfort zone. Sending my most positive vibes to your family. DDD [/QUOTE]
