[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 364858, member: 1169"] Susie - I agree with your dad. Impulse control is so minimal at those ages. Sharon - Piglet is my complete easy child. She does have some very good friends, they just don't attend her school. TM - She's in diving camp right now and then has a few weeks off before conditioning starts for her fall sport. Surprisingly, she is having a lot of fun playing with her brothers :happy: Our 7th graders are divided into two teams, they only cross at PE and elective. I'm going to call the school and ask that Piglet be on the opposite team from these girls if possible (since there are two that will be in 7th grade, it may not be possible if they are already trying to separate them). I already know they aren't in her elective as they don't qualify for it. I was never thrilled with this group of friends. Piglet's other friends are all highly motivated over achievers. These local girls were content to hang out and do nothing. Piglet went from being very active at recess to sitting on the sidelines. Long term, I'm glad their colors showed now (and their parents too - as they are all in the 'not my kid' and 'so what' camps) so she can start at the new school without being grouped in with those girls.
