Life is all about change. Without change I know that I would get bored and the same goes for kids. A few weeks ago after I returned home from work I asked my daughter how school had gone for her on the particular day. Her response was that some boy's name that I can't remember didn't want to be her friend any more.
This was shocking to me because I had never before that day heard her mention a boy's name from her preschool class. She routinely mentions two of the three other girls in her class but never a boy's name. It caught me off guard, though, when she mentioned this abruptly ended friendship which I was clueless about. I had no idea what to say and because it didn't seem to phase her in the least I just moved on.
I forgot about it until later that evening. Why would anyone say that they didn't want to be friends with The Youngling? She is probably the most outgoing and friendly kid this side of the Rocky Mountains. While I'm not the type to meddle in my kid's friendships I have to wonder what makes a kid, in all of their randomness, abruptly decide that they no longer want to be friends with another kid?
