[quote=Anonymous]My two cents: if your daughter will be going to a new school for K, the landscape will be different from her old school.  Take advantage of this fresh start by arranging for weekly playdates with the kids in her class.  You could go down the list of kids until you hit one she'd like to play with.  Keep at it, inviting a new kid (or whomever your daughter prefers) each week, even if the other families don't reciprocate.  As your daughter gets older she will probably develop stronger preferences for certain kids, hopefully develop friendships, and then you can stop the "cold calling" of other parents, as she will prefer to have her new friends over.  As for you making friends, that's trickier and I wouldn't count on that happening with other parents at the school unless you really put an effort into it.  The other parents from my child's school that I've befriended have been neighbors, or I have spent significant amounts of time with them at soccer games, or we had something in common that resulted in us seeking each other out for other reasons.  Good luck, OP![/quote]
