OK, mom, it hurts and it sucks. Do not call or try to control the situation. This goes against your entire being, but hear me out. This is when she learns that: she will not always be invited and it’s OK to feel hurt and betrayed. Let her ride out all the emotions it is going to hurt you even more because you would rather feel it than her. You do not call the other girls names. Stay neutral because Middle School Friendships go in different directions and run hot and cold. When she calms down and is ready to think it through, it may be time to bring up the lesson of having different friends in different places. Extracurricular activities, church, and at school. It’s a hard concept for many kids, but a great time to learn to pivot. That doesn’t mean to not be friends with the ones that did this. You will solve that later. But now it is time to learn through experience. Experience is going to be the teacher. You are going to be the guide on the side. This is when your daughter learns to be resilient because she’s not always going to be invited. She learns how to rise up and be a resilient woman. we must prepare our child for the road and not the road for the child.
