I am sure she is happy although she says nothing either way, but dd1 has just started school and I worry she has no friends (now I teach at the school and can watch her out of my classroom windoe - fatal I know) but all the other new children were playing and she was just on the fringe.
I feel like I have failed her - maybe if we had more friends with children we could have them round to play more often but it is so hard with working etc.
Do you think I should be brave and invite some children round - am slightly scared because they have big houses and we only have a small teachers house!!! or what can I say to encourage her to mix - I already feel I am putting too much pressure on her - saying why don't you sit by so and so or why don't you play with X to the extent she had to lie about who she played with yesterday (I caught her out!!!)
I don't want her to miss out on the friendship making!
