girl troubles HELP

[JamieeN]

Ugh, I remember these days so well, when this happened to me, but I didn't know well how to deal with it then, and I don't know better now.  

My oldest daughter is having friend issues.  She is a sweet girl, shy, and a bit non confrontational. I'm not even sure she knows she has a problem.  She has one friend, friend A,  who is a good friend, but they don't have a ton in common, they just get along very well, and the differences aren't too different that they can't hang out. She has another friend, friend B, who came along later who is now her closest friend in that they have a LOT in common and spend most of their time together..  Friend A still loves to be around my daughter and says she's the only one A can trust with Secrets, but friend B is very much an attention seeker and if A is talking, she will but in with a new topic.  My daughter does not stop this interuption and it bothers A very much.  I've talked with my daughter before about this, and she knows it's a problem, but is just afraid to stand up to B.  Any ideas on how I can get my daughter to start creating boundaries and making more time for her other friends?  Any good books you know of?  This wouldn't worry me so much if my daughter were more overall social, but she is very much a hang to just a few people kind of girl!!

Any advice would be helpful! Thanks
