10 yr old daughter`s friend is son of my best friend Advice please?

We`ve been hanging around about 4 yrs now.My daughter is ADHD, who`s got a pretty good good handle on it.She is getting lots of self-esteen %26amp; is making a lot of new friends. Her friend is getting more bossy %26amp; jealous of her. It`s usally her friends that come to his birthday party.He`s 10 , very sensitive %26amp; cries a lot. Right now, my daughter has found a ';new'; friend, she is crazy over (boy).I`ve always encouraged her to be friend with her old friend, but he is eighter tesing her about her new friend (says She`s got a crush) or getting his feelings hurt-He has had bad experinces with father 5yrs ago (he`s gone)Her new friend is really sweet, but wonders WHy, she lets 2 of them ditch on her all the time. (She also has some good freinds ) he likes. The sticky thing is I am friends with the fussy one Mom (close) they usally have fun on our outing.I doubt I`ll get any feedback, I know this is long %26amp; hard to understand-Thanks to all that try.10 yr old daughter`s friend is son of my best friend Advice please?
children today are more complex, its the way of the world. children with special conditions are obviously going to need more suport, and possibly find growing up that bit harder. The teenage years will come soon, best to try and get confusion/frustration understood as best you and daughter can now, best to build on yr friendship/bond with your daughter, so that she will listen to you and have respect for your opinions. Support her developing self esteem, promote it, try to fade out all that diminishes this, as soon enough your girl will have to stand on her own 2 feet and face all that life throws at her, so dont be unrealistic, chat about relationships and crushes, chat about what is acceptable and appropriate for her to receive as a return form her pals, let her k now that there has to be a line to draw, and that she can be guided by that all her life, when she feels uncomfortable, its time to question things.implement changes. Bossy is not good, crush or not, jealousy is quite natural, and can create all sorts of negatives. Talk to your friend who has the boy that is friendly with your daughter, be honest, approach things together, IF YOU END UP LOSING A FRIEND OVER THIS, THEN SHE WASNT OF ANY GREAT VALUE, FRIENDS ARE IMPORTANT TO US ALL, BUT THEY WILL COME AND GO, TELL YOUR DAUGHTER THAT, MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS ARE FOREVER.10 yr old daughter`s friend is son of my best friend Advice please?
Kid's will be Kid's,


These things have a way of working themselves out.


And at the age's you are talking about, It can be hard to control.


And if she is a 'true friend' then she must understand, The kids will do what they think best for themselves.
Follow your heart or you mind,


Choose one!
