[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem way too involved in this. You have told your daughter to hang out with these kids at school pick up and she won’t do it. I would just invite kids to your house when you can and don’t get caught up in scorekeeping. There will be so many shifts in friendships over the next 5 years. You have to not get so worried about it. It isn’t your job to “work” to make friends for a 9 year old.[/quote]

Believe me, I don’t want to be this involved.  DD used to hang out with different girls before this group, and it was definitely not work like this.  This girl group and the moms is probably the tightest clique at the school - even DD’s teacher mentioned it to me.

From what I’ve seen, all of the girls have full schedules, especially with spring sports, so it’s really hard to have play dates.  [/quote]

Stop worrying about playdates. Give her one or two more activities to do so she can make friends through those. [/quote]

As to play dates, I was responding to PP's suggestion that I invite kids to our house.  DD does plenty of activities already.[/quote]
