[quote=Anonymous]OP, she needs friends. Can you reach out to her school administrators and see what ideas they have for encouraging friendships there? Are there new sports she might be interested in trying and which could serve as a social outlet? Other interests? Among her old friend group, is there one girl in particular with whom she was close or who might be receptive. Even having just one close friend makes a world of difference compared with no friends. Focus on just getting her one and build from there. My DD is almost 12 and generally I’ve found Lisa Damour’s books and podcast enormously helpful for parenting a tween girl (and imagine they will be once she’s older). You’re not alone in struggling and there is good expert advice to be had. [/quote]
