You're not alone there.<br /><br />My heart aches for Maya and this situation with her friend not wanting her to play. My kids have all been through that at one time or another. Some other child decided they weren't cool enough, good enough or not something enough to play with the group and I was left to try to soothe tears and hurt feelings. I think as parents and grandparents, we all know that these times are almost a right of passage for any kid trying to survive being a kid, but that doesn't ever make it any easier to take.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-10950111830418342142010-05-07T11:03:53.033-04:002010-05-07T11:03:53.033-04:00It sounds like your granddaughter is learning more...It sounds like your granddaughter is learning more about fitting in and getting along with others though and that is always a good thing for her for the rest of her life. Of course you don't want to see her hurt. She will be hurt sometimes and how she learns how to work through these times is how she will be work through things from now on. The good thing for her is that she knows she is loved at home and it is a safe and loving place for her.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-70129979320671506472010-05-07T10:39:12.533-04:002010-05-07T10:39:12.533-04:00Sorry to hear that other kids are making Maya feel...Sorry to hear that other kids are making Maya feel bad. Children can be cruel and I have no idea what you can do about that.<br /><br />As for blog reading after I've been away... I don't even try to catch up. I just zero out the queue of unread stuff and start over from the present.fermicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912496005011895707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-32913233635293519162010-05-07T06:38:07.856-04:002010-05-07T06:38:07.856-04:00These are very hurtful things to have to cope with...These are very hurtful things to have to cope with and I don't know what the answer is. Sooner or later it *dawns * on a child that they do have a condition that is different.<br />I used to get so upset if either of my children had others exclude them or be mean to them. I also would fight any corner for my grandchildren. I am not sure if my autistic grandson feels like this or not but I know his brother is always complaining about having to put up with a brother who has special needs.<br />Hope this blows over soon.<br />Maggie.<br /><br /><a href="http://granniemay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Nuts in May</a>Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.com
