[QUOTE="BonnieJean, post: 10537, member: 851"] Looking back at a similiar situation, I would tackle this head on too. What's weird is that we let our kids make some decisions and just pray that they make the good choice. Recently, just last week, J wanted to be friends with this girl in her new school. The two "leaders" aka bullies in her class do not like this little girl. She's extremely quiet and never speaks up for herself. J spoke up for her last week on a swimming trip. Well, this week, J has decided to be friends with these other kids because they seem more fun. I gave J the lowdown. I don't EVER want to EVER hear her saying means things to this child, about this child etc... This child has some emotional and academic delays which are obvious to me. Nothing like having a difficult child to make you pick certain kids out quickly right? And I've sat down with J and we've talked about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) and that this girl is not responsible for the difficulties she has. I have no control over the other kids, but I do and will have control over J in this situation. I dunno, tough call, sometimes you let them make the choice, other times, it's better to make it your choice. And this is tough, cuz I really don't like to pick their friends but....~shrugs~ BonnieJean [/QUOTE]
