[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. She doesn’t necessarily want the party but the appreciation from friends on the actual day. Her friend group is very centered around what they do for the friend on their actual birthdate. But when it comes to hers people are just more dispersed. They aren’t a sleepover group or large birthday party group but the calls and celebration over the iPads or in school on that  day is what she misses[i] I think[/i]. [/quote]

The same thing happens with summer birthdays for younger kids.

Your kid is getting old for a “party” but I think you should start encouraging her to have a small get together mid-January - you treat her and a few friends to dinner and a movie or something else.  Maybe end at your house for cake.

The day of - maybe stop celebrating New Year’s Eve and focus the days- or most of the day on her birthday.  Go out for lunch.  Find something g fun to do.  Maybe ask your relatives to text her happy birthday (not the same as friends, but it gives her some attention).[/quote]
