DD has recently aquired a best friend. They are both 4, 5 in September and starting school together. They are very very sweet together and I like this little girl a lot.
Anyhoo....I am beginning to get a bit worried about dd's preoccupation with Best Friend, almost to the exclusion of anyone else. While I am happy to encourage the relationship I am wary of her investing all her emotional energy in one other child. I have been gently trying to encourage other frienships but she is not interested.
Am I right to feel like this? I have a ds but his friendships have been so much more straightforward. Does it all pan out in reception when there are other children involved?
