[quote=Anonymous]I appreciate this thread. My DD has not yet made friends in her new middle school, and is a VERY social child. I am grateful to another parent for organizing a reunion/get together of kids who used to go to school together--we met at a park. If not, my child would also have spent 10 minutes doing the activities I suggested, and then escaped into her phone. But I was a "surprise" child--much younger than the other kids on my street. So I often played alone. Biked alone, walked to get ice cream, or just sat in a tree. Sometimes with a book, sometimes without. That's OK, too. It takes time to learn how to do things on your own--but it's a good skill. Not one most children would like to hone, but a good one for life. That said, my heart aches when I hear that she sits alone at lunch. Just--aches. Lunch is the hardest period of the day for her. [/quote]
