[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard to say. My oldest has been friends with a lot of kids at his school and I have noticed that most social groups form based on living on the same street or being on the same sports teams, etc. These kids see each other a lot either on the street or at practice and games, and the parents become more friendly with each other for the same reason.

I would focus on play dates with kids involved in the same activities with my kid so that those friendship bonds (parents and kids) can be strengthened by familiarity. [/quote]

we have tried really hard to make friends with her basketball team, but its really awkward with the parents.  we live in a rundown part of our school zone and there are *no* kids within 3 blocks of us -- trust us we checked.  i wonder if we lived on a different street if that is part of it?[/quote]

to expand, part of it is that the basketball team is all SAHM who get together during the week and the dads are all coaches while my DH is about as sport as a rock.  we are friendly but can't click with that group, and honestly our DD is not really close to them even after 3 years -- her core group at school is all she seems to talk about.  i just feel bad that if we are missing some sort of social anxiety or behavioral issue, or if she is excluded because of something *we the parents* are doing oblivously.[/quote]
