DS11 has asked for advice on how to handle a friend who follows him around constantly.He is an unpopular child and holds on to my son by telling lies to other children to make my son unpopular and so increasing his monopoly of my son. DS doesn't dislike the boy in small doses and in fact says he has been helpful to him in the past. He doesn't want to hurt his feelings but the boy gets easily upset when asked if he can have some time alone or do something else and the boy then says my son is being horrible to him. Has anyone had a similar experience or any suggestions on how to solve this with minimum damage.
