Mumsnet Talk

My dd is struggling with friendships and I really struggle to deal with this without getting very emotional or cross. She seems to get left out and picked on wher ever she goes and I don't know what to do to help her. I try and talk to her but she says she doesnt want to talk about it. She says she isn't 'popular' and 'people just tell me to go away' and she never gets picked to do things, she wants to to stop dancing and avoids going to school and no wants to stop brownies where she has been going for 4 years. Help

BUMP!

she is 9 so a very vulnerable age and I am very concncerned that she is trying to withdraw from things because she finds it so difficult socially, her sef esteem is obviously very low and I don't know what to do to improve it. she is taking it all out on me by pushing me away and saying she doenst want to talk to me but then saying I dont spend enough time with her
