That is tough... I remember mine still. About the same age, too. My parents didn't really say much to me bc I didn't let them know how heartbroken I was (at least I didn't think they knew, but being a parent now I realize they probably knew anyway!). My dad mentioned in passing that is was the boy's loss, and that if he wanted some other girl he was too stupid for me anyway. It wasn't a big "talk," just a few comments made while we were watching tv that afternoon. It took a while for it to make me feel better, but it did.
I hope she bounces back quickly. First break-ups are rough. ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- ![]() |

That's probably what I'd do too. ![]() Kylie was dumped by her "boyfriend" earlier this year.....obviously 6.5 year olds don't really have boyfriends nor do I like even talking about it ![]() ![]() Just be there for her Kirsten and let her know it's normal, we ALL go through break-ups, and it might hurt now, but she WILL feel better some day and find someone new. ![]() -------------------- ~*Karen*~

There isn't a whole lot you can do. My ds (13) had his last gf dump him for another guy--totally humiliating. I tried to talk to him about it, but it only made him more uncomfortable. I was thinking of writing him a letter--sounds a little ludicrous to write a letter to someone living under the same roof, but I figured it'd be a way to get my point across in a more palatable manner for ds. Good luck!

Erin just went through a break-up, but she was the dumper. Her ex has tried several times to contact her in an effort to patch things up, but Erin has already moved forward. On the whole Lisa and I are happy and Erin already has another romantic interest. Teen and young adult relationships are a necessary part of growing up. Break-ups are hard and the best thing I can think to do as parents is let them know we care about how they're feeling and try to be nonjudgmental.
