[quote=Anonymous]Can you sign her up for some after school activities so that she meets people with similar interests?  Better yet, if you can figure out an after school activity that includes a carpool, you could extend the time with the other kid(s) in the activity--she would arrive with a group (and talk in the car) and you could ask the other parents if you could stop for ice cream or dinner on the way home occasionally.

In the longer term, I have a daughter who is also not great at making friends.  I've always encouraged her to play sports, which means she's been on the same soccer and basketball teams for years.  When things aren't going well with her close friends, at least she has a group to spend time with a couple of times a week, and this is the group that forms the basis of birthday party invites, etc.  Doesn't need to be sports-- girl scouts and that sort of club would serve the same purpose.  A formal setting of friendship and camaraderie where everyone is included.  [/quote]
