[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:39 - ITA. The parents make it harder on the kids than any other child I have seen.  Very often, the parents try to choose the friends, and that never works.  OP, let your child choose her own friends and go from there.  Most likely, most of the children started the year without a friend in the class (statistically).  Making friends is part of the ride.  Try not to take it too hard.  [/quote]

I am the 15:39 poster.  This mention of parents was not directed towards OP.  I think she needs to do what she can do advocate for her little girl, especially if the child is aware she is being ostracized by the other kids.  That is just heartbreaking.

I think that notifying the school is a good idea.  It is possible that many of the girls in her class are all previous friends, or their moms are close so they are in an automatic clique.  My child is new to the area and his school does a lunch bunch with new kids to help them get to know other kids in the same bunch.  My child loved meeting the other new kids and it helped to start new friendships.  Maybe your school has a similar program.  It only takes one other person to make a friendship.

I hope your baby will find the friendship she needs to make school a happy place to be.[/quote]
