Last week my little girl came home from school so sad because her best friend said she wasn't her friend anymore. She cried all weekend. It just broke my heart and made me want to give that little stinker a talking to.
Instead I comforted my own and was sad with her. I have tried to help her figure out how to deal with friends at school. And if you didn't already know girls can be really mean. I made sure she knew that I would be very disappointed and so would she if I ever knew that she was mean to others. I tried to help her to know what a real friend is and what kind of friend she wants to be. But, none of that makes her feel any better she was so heartbroken. I know she won't feel better until they work it out or she finds a new friend.
It is one of those times when you want to protect your child and keep them from all the hurt and ugly things in the world. It makes you realize how important it is to have a place that you belong, that you can always be safe from those things with people who will always love you.
It just so happens the friend this month has a few articles on just the subject. I think I will go pick one up. Guess what our home evening is going to be about?
