Not entirely sure this is the right thread for this ...
My 5 year old DD started school this year. She is mainly friends with one little girl in the class though she says she plays with a couple of other girls a little. In the past 2 weeks DD has been coming back from school telling me that the other little girl lets her play with her only if she doesn't talk to her. The other day DD fell as the other girl pushed her to win a race, and today she asked me whether we could invite the girl round. I said it was a good idea. DD then said the other girl had said unless we invited her to play she wouldn't invite DD to her birthday party.
Recently the other little girl got in a bit of bother at school for trying to escape from the playground and I have wondered whether stuff at home is causing her recent behaviour. At pick up time today, DD was trying to engage with her and the girl moved away from her refusing to engage. DD then started chatting to a boy in her class instead.
The dynamics of their friendship seems to have changed and from what DD says she is kind of walking on eggshells around this other child at the moment.
Realise this is playground stuff but wonder what I should tell DD when she reports all these things to me as the other girl doesn't seem to be too nice to her these days...
