[quote=Anonymous]Right off the bat, this sounds like a kid who doesn't have a lot of friends -- which would make sense if she's new and transferred to the private school in 3rd grade rather than in K with the rest of the kids. And I think it's about your DD and her friends deciding -- party doesn't sound exciting and we don't like her (or she at least isn't one of us) -- so we're not going, it's lame. Chances are they would NOT have come to that conclusion even if one of the kids in their friend group had a "lame" party -- they would have sucked it up and gone and eaten the McDonalds. Your call what to do, and while I don't generally force socialization, I would consider forcing it this time bc it really could help out the new kid bc if a few kids go, the rest will start to think maybe she's an ok kid (even if they decline the party and hear later that others went) and that'll go a long way in her making friends.[/quote]
