[quote=Anonymous]It's possible that the interests have just changed -- maybe they're into going to the mall to talk to boys and she isn't quite comfortable with that. Maybe she blew off that activity once which led them to decide she isn't one of them and now she's excluded - when she maybe wanted to hang out, just not doing that 1 activity. That may explain why the other moms think she just dropped out of sight.

In any event maybe it doesn't bother her -- if she has "school friends" -- people to sit with at lunch and when the gym teacher says "find a partner for x game," maybe she's fine with that. For some kids school is as much socialization as they need and after that they're ok at home with their family. I wouldn't push it -- that's more likely to make her feel bad; or like she's disappointing you bc she isn't popular or that you can't hang out with these moms bc she doesn't hang out with their kids. I would ask her if there are any activities she wants to join - if you reasonably think you could make it happen if she suggests one. I'd also reassure her that middle school is much bigger with a lot more kids (if that's true) and she'll have all new friends by then.[/quote]
