14yo Too Old for Thank You Cards to Friends?

[KH02]

I agree the thank you notes should be written to family members and elders only. Not her peers, at least not once she is 14.
Just be sure she at least said thanks to them and you are all set.
No use in embarrassing her over it.

KH02 said my thought exactly.

I agree. She already got teased last year, so what do you think will happen this year one year older.

As long as your daughter is writing thank you notes to everyone else, I'd let her go on this one. She seems to understand what you expect of her, and as long as she is saying thank you in some form or another, she's doing fine.

She sounds like a well mannered kid. It's nice to see parents who care!

I am personally fine with your DD writing at least a text to her friends. I think that probably is more "socially acceptable" for her peers.

I do, however, would insist that she continue to write thank you notes to her elders. Etiquette never goes out of style.
