Devastated daughter

She's come out of school in floods of tears (proper upset, not attention seeking) due to the fact that her boyfriend has asked another girl out without first 'dumping her' first. She's normally a bit standoffish in nature, but has been clingy and cuddly today.

She's ten! The relationship is obviously harmless, and it seems to be the done thing at her school for boys and girls to say they are 'going out' when really they are just very good friends, but basically she feels rejected by her 'boyfriend'.

I thought I'd have a good few years before the first bit of boy-related heartbreak!

WHy not take her for a treat today? Encourage her to have a good weekend and by Monday it will all be history. - if not first thing Monday, I am sure it will be by Tuesday.

You have years of this ahead of you, so use today as a "practice".
