Are cliques a problem for new kids and how are they handled?
Sometimes new children have difficulty in breaking into the existing social structure. We try some things to assist that process. Parents can help, by proactively engaging their child with students whom their child meets, e.g., when your child comes home and says he/she met a nice student who ate lunch with him/her that day or played with them, the parent might want to see if their child wanted to invite that child over for pizza, miniature golf, bowling, etc.
