[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD knows most of the kids in her class, and we know most of the parents as well.

She seems to get along with everyone (boys and girls).  There are few girls she gravitates towards and the seem to get along well in school.

The problem is the mom of one of the kids will arrange lunches/playdates and does not include our daughter.  (the kids are 9 & 10. So too young to make external plans)

The mother seems very nice in person, but standoffish.  Truly I do not know why our daughter is excluded.  I've asked the mom if she'd like to make plans - no, she's already mades some.  Next time!  Then I learn she's asked other moms and girls, but not us.

Plus in the class my DD is always "plan b".  (when they are partnered up. ).  It just hurts to see our child get her feelings hurt. (by the child of the mom mentioned above).  My child is always trying to be accepted/friends, but is kind of brushed off.

Sorry this is so vague. I don't want to share too many personal details.

I did recommend that she tries to play with some of the other girls in the class.  Ask them if they'd like to be partners for activities during the week, etc.  She deserves to be treated well and valued as a friend.

Any advice?  I feel like confronting the mother - but I know it's the wrong thing to do and will cause more drama.[/quote]

It sounds like it is one girl that your daughter likes more than the friend likes your daughter. The kid is not picking your daughter at school either so that means that the girl is better friends with someone else. I do not think this is excluding.

My daughter is close to one girl in her class. There are other girls she is also friends with but she plays most with one girl.

I’m not sure why you think it is the mom. It sounds like both the mom and daughter are just not that into you. Your daughter can make other friends. This will only get worse in middle school.[/quote]
