[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No advice just solidarity. Last night my 12 year old went to sleep bawling. She feels left out of her friend group. One girl who was a bestie sort of overnight joined a different friend group and changed her look completely. Another bestie has been downright mean to her this year (passing notes about her to spread gossip). These multiple snow days have been really hard, because she doesn’t have a “go to” friend to hang out with. I’m also reading Untangled, which is excellent. It’s hard though when there’s not much you can do as a parent except encourage her to explore new friendships and focus on activities to distract her. I also enrolled her in a sleepaway camp for 2 weeks this summer, to give her some time away and meet new kids. My hope is this gets better in 8th grade, but if not then, fingers crossed it’s better in HS.[/quote]

Sending lots of positive vibes your way.

OP here, we had some virtual days and she said it was fine for me to send a message to our carpool girls families and offer for them to come over to do them with her. We're new(ish) to this street (moved from a different part of the neighborhood) so I felt like she needed to get to know the girls more on a personal level.  It worked out great and she's feeling much better and all the girls had a great time. Thanks for everyone's support.[/quote]
