    This is 100% how the conversation would go in my house, both externally and internally. Thanks for sharing!

    On the bright side, at least she feels like school is a safe place for her!

      True- For all I know, the guidance counselor doesn’t get to talk to kids about ‘mundane’ problems often enough!  ;D

    Actually I think it is great!  She could learn some valuable tools for dealing with peer conflicts.  My 9 yr old started seeing the school counselor because his learning differences were causing him to act out.  (He discovered he would rather be considered naughty than dumb!) And his quick temper was earning him a reputation with the bullies as someone who was easy to tease. She gave him great comebacks to use and a safe place to express his feelings.

    This is hysterical. Weekly therapy ‘pointments. Loving it.  Actually the guidance counselor is a great person to talk to about conflicts with friends, even at this age. My daughter (in 1st grade) went to her GC with some issues with a couple of kids and they all learned how to work it out together. And my DD learned some new communication skills. I guess it’s different when it comes from someone other than mom or dad.

       You’re right- It could definitely help. Punky’s very sensitive to the friend issue right now and could probably use some pointers.

  5. This is an adorable story! Definitely one of those “kids say the darndest things” moments. I admire that your daughter took matters into her own hands and decided to try to fix her problems herself. That’s a good sign!
