So, my daughter is almost 13. She had been invited this birthday party where most girls were new friends from school. She was talking to one of them (not the birthday girl) and she said sth about her interlocutor being short (mind you, my daughter is as short as she is). The girl apparently was a bit offended though she didn’t say anything at the time to my daughter. Later on, the birthday girl disinvited her from the party saying: we could do sth you and me some other day.
I told her that the friend probably was offended and told the birthday girl she wasn’t comfortable with my daughter being at the party. I said: well, it’s good that this happened to you early in life when consequences are not so dire, so you’ll learn to not say everything that crosses your mind.
In any case, she wanted to buy a gift for the birthday girl and give it to her. She hasn’t said anything. It’s been a week.
What would be the best approach right now? Give her the gift anyway at school? How should I navigate helping her in this case?
