[quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Thank you all. I didn't think of approaching the teacher for this since DD is 9 and they form their own friendships at that age. I will reach out to the teacher.

We have signed up DD for classes but two are virtual, the other two are drop off and parents don't get to stay. So far DD has not made any friends in those 2 classes. DD is not into soccer or basketball though. I've encouraged her to make friends with the boys and she says all they play is soccer and that she does not like that.

I have tried playdates with a lot of kids DD said she likes - two came but the other parents said they were not free after several requests so I gave up. The two who did come did not call back. DD says they don't play now with her at recess.

We did have a birthday party too last year but very few kids showed up. She got two party invites this school year. DD was saying "I don't have any friends, so lets not have any birthday party this year" (2022). She said she wanted to go to a jumping place with her sibling instead.

Just hoping DD finds her tribe in middle school like PP's DD.
