The friend conversation is so difficult to have! My son is only in kindergarten, so everyone (in his mind) is his friend right now. My heart breaks for the future when kids don’t want to be his friend 🙁

The differences in social interaction really is interesting. I could say it’s a boy/girl thing, but even my 2 boys are the same. I try to ask my 3rd grader about his friends and I get a lot of eyerolls lol. They start early with that stuff, don’t they? My 1st grader, however, he’s happy just as long as he has some kids, any kids to run around with at recess.

In reply to Dee. Oh that is nice! Having a friend next door, my daughter gets upset because where we live there are a TON of neighbors that are my sons age but she doesn't have many neighborhood kids her age :-(

In reply to Nicole Robinson. I think that these days the kids, specifically girls are more "cliquey" than they were when I was growing up. Seems the times are so different.

I was just like my daughter too … each year she gets older each year I see more and more of me in her … scary! lol

In reply to Karen. I certainly did explain to Aj that friends do not say things like that. Just thankful Aj is the type who doesn't let little things like that bug him & the friend did let him play so IDK the whole story. My daughter on the other hand takes every little gesture to heart and it's difficult for me to try to help soothe her in times of slight friend drama.
