Questions from your child (lemmy.world)

Maybe someone can help me with a question my 10yr old put to me.

‘A few people (in school) think of me as their best friend but I don’t think the same way, I’m best friends with Bob (not his real name :)) instead, and don’t like playing with the others as much. How do I deal with that?’

My initial response was something along the lines of ‘just be as good a mate as you can and be kind to the others’ but I’m not sure I’m getting the nuance.

Any pointers?

Your response is spot on. Your kid can't control how others feel, but they can be decent to those people.
