Best friend fights

[Maxtry]

Am finding it tricky to know when to step in to friendship issues with my 6 year old dd. She has a close group of friends and they usually are all over each other but there can be explosive fallings out if eg they disagree on what game. Bigger issue is the way they speak to each other. Today she had a play date with another friend. They were having a lovely time and wanted it to be just the 2 of them...first time they have played in months. Her best friend arrived unnanounced..just lives couple of doors away..and my dd announced she wanted her to leave..cue meltdown from best friend. My dd popped round tonight and apologised for hurt feelings and they all over each other but it is so hard. They all seem to do it to each other but Im mortified by what she comes out with sometimes. I feel she and her best friend are so close but have no filter x

I think that's just six year olds to be honest. I think you just have to keep stressing "how would you feel if you were best friend?", "How could you have done things differently so she wouldn't have been upset?" "What can we do now to make her feel better?"

I know what you mean though from an adult perspective it's mortifying!

Thanks...i spend a lot of time with the " how would you feel.... ?" Hopefully in time she'll develop more social graces!!
