[quote=Anonymous]I mean, this definitely happens. The super popular and charismatic kids are fine no matter what. More middle of the pack kids can get a lot of help from their parents. I have one child who is effortlessly popular and one who has had some social struggles. I have always done the extra bit to facilitate that kid’s friendships- being super friendly when I meet a parent in the grade, making sure we host a lot of playdates and good birthday parties. I think it’s helped some. She never had a shot until we moved to a public near our house though - previously went to a private that was like this this and to a certain extent it’s understandable- you encourage friendships in the neighborhood near you and we didn’t live in the same wealthy area as most people. But it did feel like people would not even waste their time chatting with you. It was a bit much. And hard on my DD - Kids know when they are never invited to any of the events that happen outside of school. [/quote]
