She ate her oatmeal, spoonful by spoonful, but she stared past everything and didn&rsquo;t say a word as the rest of us chit-chatted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But she&rsquo;s a talkative 4-year-old who loves to ask why every chance she gets, so I tried to read her face a couple times. I knew she must be mulling something over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then during a break in the conversation, <strong>finally<\/strong>: &ldquo;Mommy? Yesterday at the park, Alex told me I&rsquo;m not his friend.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Oh no,<\/em> I thought. <em>We&rsquo;re starting friendship drama already?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id11656_693ec4-35 .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id11656_693ec4-35 .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id11656_693ec4-35 .kb-table-of-contents-title{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;text-transform:uppercase;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id11656_693ec4-35 .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}<\/style>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-parenting-lectures-don-t-work\">When Parenting Lectures Don&rsquo;t Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I reached out to rub my daughter&rsquo;s shoulder. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry that happened.

Maybe he&rsquo;ll say he&rsquo;s sorry and make it right.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She nodded, but I could tell my mini-lecture hadn&rsquo;t quite made it through to her.
