It's been a funny old week in our house. We're got a house guest, we've had a very uneventful 10th wedding anniversary and we've attended an old friend's wedding.
Incidentally, for those of you approaching a 10th wedding anniversary, you'll be pleased to know that it's known as the "tin" or "coal" anniversary. Nothing more prestigious that that. Sorry.
What do you do when you notice your child's friendships breaking down?
Do you intervene, do you try to get them to talk it out? Do you try to get them to spend time apart? Do you mind your own business and be there to pick up the pieces?
Rachel (who's only 7 years old, remember) is having quite a bit of friction with her best friend of the last 3 or so years. The other little girl is quite introverted and likes to keep Rachel to herself. She's not keen on the two of them mixing with other kids, although we try to make sure Rachel has other options.
