[quote=Anonymous]My DD is friends with everyone, but not everyone's top friend. That means when kids can invite 2-4 kids to do something, my DD rarely makes the cut. They're not excluding her maliciously, she's just not the top kid. When kids invite larger groups, they're happy to have her. They're good friends, kind, but some kids are more popular than others.

For us, I just supported my DD in expanding her circles of friends, and inviting kids to do things. If she sulks about not getting invited, she's not spending that time cultivating friendships of her own. It also helps to branch out because you might find "your group" of people by doing so.

If kids were being actively mean, I'd suggest putting most of your effort into helping her find new groups. But if she's just not one of the more popular kids, I'd suggest you do a lot of hosting and inviting. Have her take a friend to the movies, meet up the library with a couple of friends, go practice a sport with some friends, etc.[/quote]
