[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a seventh grade girl, and think you need to dial it back. My girl has only one friend in walking distance of our house. It's fine. Keep your girl involved in lots of activities. She'll be fine. Sometimes it takes a while for people to warm up to newbies. You wrote this post and all I hear is that YOU are upset, but nowhere do you say anything about your daughter being upset. Step back a little. [/quote]

I am upset because my daughter's upset. She has been crying about it. A LOT of it is that her younger brother has boys exactly his age in 3 out of 4 houses right next to ours. So all day every day the boys are running between houses, playing outside, doing sleepovers, going places together, etc. 
I don't think that she feels excluded at school or left out by anyone- I think she is just down because she wants that and it just isn't happening here.
My heart hurts because she is sad. I've not intervened or done anything other than encouraged/ arranged play dates with parents when she asks, and taking her on errands with me or spending extra time with her when she seems to need some extra attention. 
I don't think I need to back off because I'm not doing anything to back off from! I'm just asking for advice from BTDT parents. 
There is not a GS troop at our school for her age group, I checked when we moved here and she wasn't interested in joining one based at another school.
