[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]she actually is involved in activities and generally enjoys them, but still, only surface friendships that don't amount to spending more time together outside the activity. we did encourage her to invite one girl over and although they had a nice time, the invite was not reciprocated and that was that.[/quote]

Friendships take a while and they say it takes many many hours of spending time together to get deep friendships. Sometimes quiet introverted kids take longer to develop friendships but once they have them the friendships stay usually. You may have to reach out on her behalf and set up some play dates and just be proactive until she starts feeling comfortable. It’s not too late for tonight. Can you reach out and see what anyone else is doing? Do you have any friends in the grade that you know? If not you should try to make an effort to get to know at least a few of the parents. It will get better. If you can’t try to get something last minute tonight then maybe take her to do something fun like a movie or take her to buy something cute? Icecream? It’s a nice night.
