She's just gone into Y1 and is an only child.
She struggled to settle into reception last year,which I believed was because she didn't know anyone before school (she'd been full time at a private nursery up to that point). She seemed to spend a lot of time on the 'friendship bench', and with a buddy from an older year. She also spent a lot of time chatting with the lunchtime supervisors.
She gradually seemed to settle and now has 2 friends. I believed that she was getting along with all her classmates.
Another mum recently told me that last year my DD used to chat with her every lunchtime (the mum was doing some work at the school).
DD has just told me that she walks with the lunchtime supervisors most days. She asks if she can join in with her classmates' play but they say no. 4 boys were throwing grass at her today which she told them she didn't like. They didn't stop.
It breaks my heart that she's so lonely. She will soon start to notice that no one seems yo want to spend time with her.
How can I help her?
