WWYD - 11 year old friendship issues

[Plutonium94]

Would appreciate some advice. WWYD in this situation, do you get involved in your 11year old / year 7 DCs friendship issues?

DC started secondary in September & has made new friends. DC has recently argued with one of these friends & they are no longer speaking.

The parent of this friend has messaged me asking if we could help the DCs make up.

As a bit of background while trying not to be too outing, this friend had a hard time at their primary school (not the same primary school as my DC) and has MH issues.

I have never interfered with my DCs friendships in the past & would not tell them who to be friends with, but I feel really bad for this friend & their parents & understand how worried they must feel.

They are young, it'll blow over and they'll be friends again soon.
It's not going to be the first time.
I would just ask what happened and if he sees himself being friends with them again. Say I'm sure he misses you. Then leave it.
I wouldn't want to get too involved and let DS make his own mind up.

Thanks @ChittyBangs that’s my thinking too. I don’t know whether they’ll resolve it, but don’t really think that’s much I can do either way, & don’t want to put pressure on my DC. Do feel bad for friends parents though as I think they must be concerned to message me.

What did they fall out about?
Year 7 friendships are very tricky. Yes to supporting but no to pushing, and I think without understanding why they fell out - and if it’s a more fundamental issue or a fairly trivial one - I’d be wary.
The other parent shouldn’t really be applying any pressure - if they are.

@NoSquirrels it seems it was a fairly trivial argument but both DC are pretty angry. My DC has found the friendship rather intense at times, but this seemed to have improved a bit recently.
