[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids don't really start making close friends until end of 2nd/3rd grade. Before then they just sort of play with whomever is into whatever they are into that day. And they don't remember any of it. Totally normal![/quote]

I disagree. While it's normal for kids in kindergarten to play with alot of different kids they can form stronger friendships with certain kids. My DS3 is very close with one boy in his class. He looks for him everyday and even the teacher commented that they have a genuine friendship where.they play together all day making up imaginative situations.

My DD6 is the same. She plays with alot of different kids but there are specific kids where it goes beyond that. Especially neighborhood friends that she regularly plays with every weekend.

That being said just ask the teacher. It's still early in the year and she may just be adjusting to a full day of school. By the end of the day many kids will be exhausted and not want to socialize on the bus.

My son definitely had a BFF in preschool.

My other son had friends in kindergarten and 1st grade for sure. Yes, the friend groups may shift as kids get older and interests change but they definitely had friends and when they were younger.

Now my boys are 11 and 13. They are still friends with the friends they made in 3rd grade. Fcps splits kids up in 3rd grade so they are in the same friend group since then.[/quote]
