[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh also I wouldn't take the playdate stuff as a personal reflection on you or your daughter. People have been intense about Covid in some of my mom friend circles.[/quote] This. And plenty of families just aren’t into “play dates.” They have other (older) kids and Have after school sports and travel sports/activities and weekends and just don’t have the time or energy to do coordinated play dates. Don’t let your daughter take this personally and don’t let her believe having friends means they must see each other after school at houses and on weekends. It is perfectly fine to have friends you only see at school and sports. She is 9. It sounds like she does have friends at school and plays with kids on recess. That is enough. Her insecurities about what defines a friendship is likely coming from your expectations.[/quote]
