[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my daughter struggles in the friend department. she is a nice kid, but just not as "savvy" as her 6th grade peers. she gets along with most kids in her classes, but no deeper connections being made. I encourage her to sit with others at lunch and on the bus but the couple of times she's tried, she tells me everyone ignores her and talk around her. she tries to participate but she feels invisible. so she comes home upset that she has nothing to do tonight. she doesn't want to tot, but she would have loved to be invited to a gathering. how can I make her and me feel better.[/quote]

OP don’t focus on this so much. Kids change and as her confidence improves should be more likely to make friends more easily. Do things that help her feel confident about herself and you need to make an effort here to reach out. The schools are full of kids with all different types of personalities and interests and I truly believe If you continue to make an effort and help guide her a bit she will find girls that she connects with. Please don’t write her off as being socially inept so early. Life can be overwhelming for some kids and some kids take time. Reach out and host some playdayes/movie outings. [/quote]
