And, I don't think any of the boys in the class were trying to be mean -- they were just doing what Donice said -- they were busy doing the work of figuring out how to create their own boundaries.<br /> And no, the book, didn't make it into the girl's mailbox -- it was more fun to plan than to actually do. And, I will add, that the girl is someone Daniel considers a very good friend, and has even had her over for a playdate. So, all in good fun -- he just wanted to have a plan. And Daniel took the whole thing very seriously-- which I also found important. I'm grateful he had the school that gave him the opportunity to have that chance to work through this important work. </p> Yes, it was cute.

And Daniel took the whole thing very seriously– which I also found important. I’m grateful he had the school that gave him the opportunity to have that chance to work through this important work.

It's a good challenge for teachers and others to allow the need to exclude and include, which seems to need to come before more permeable friendship boundaries, but keep it from becoming hurtful. Having kind of observed the Spy Club in operation, I can add to Susie's story that the book didn't make it into the girl's mailbox, and the Club members were helped to redirect their creative energy! But I know that it was definitely a hot topic. It sure can be hard for parents to walk through this with children.
