My dd turned 10 in August, so the youngest girl in her year. She tells me that some of her oldest friends don't play anymore (some of them are turning 11 this term) Apparently climbing trees is babyish too
While I would like her to be a child as long as possible I am aware that she does still play imaginative games, dress for comfort rather than style etc
Would you mind telling me what your 10/11 year old girls are into so at least I can make sure dd isn't left out because she doesn't know stuff?? She watches American trash like Jessie, Ant Farm and loves GBBO so I think she is reasonably mainstream but I overheard one of dds friends saying she watches Alien, The Omen and the Saw films (which I don't feel are appropriate!)
She likes Minecraft, making friendship bracelets, riding her bike, reading.
I was bullied badly at secondary school and I'd love dd to avoid this if possible... Is there anything else I should be thinking of?
Thanks
