She doesn't want to get involved but they keep pressuring her to take sides. She is 10. How can she best handle this? Thanks

Just tell to make a firm decision; tell her that both are your friends.. and there's nothing to do with her, so tell her not to side anyone.. and it is also unfair to side anyone..
so, no matter what, both of them are still friends with your daughter..
Bottomline, i would tell her to try and avoid having enemy

My little sister had to deal with this also. What you need to do is sit her down and first, tell her that it's not her fault. Second, let her know that you're here for her. Third, she needs to know that she doesn't HAVE to hang out with these kids. Or better yet, hang out with them at the same time. I don't know if this is a school situation, but if it is, I would encourage her to make new friends. Also, let her know that by fighting, these kids are being immature. Good luck!

Just explain to her that she shouldnt take sides....no matter which one she would choose the other would be mad at her. Tell her its better to stay out of it completley. If they keep asking her then tell her to tell them she cant be friends with them. Its a difficult one. I find it amazing how young these girls in school act like this. They start at a really early age. Just tell her not to pick anyones side.

Tell her .. to tell them she doesn't want to choose. And that they shouldn't fight over some silly little thing. It's easier just to be friends than to become enemies...and if they are really friends. They won't let that come in the way of their friendship. Hope you get what I'm sayin..lol*

Tell her to tell her friends she can not take their fighting and that she is not going to lower herself to their level to take sides. Until they can get along she can find other things to do! Worth a try!

Ask your daugther to make new friends/boyfriend. And let both of her old friends do their things and settle their debt. Let them fight.
