My DD1 (age 5) seems to be having a few friend issues. There is a girl who has latched onto her since she started school. Both sets of parents were told at parents evening that the girls were rather "spirited". My DD1 now seems to have grown up a bit and says she isn't keen on this girl but everyone else thinks she is her best friend and they don't want to play with my DD1. She says she asks to play with others but they don't want her to. She also says this other girl is mean to her. I have suggested she tries to get involved with others and every few weeks we have a friend from school back for tea.
Any words of wisdom? Should I just leave well alone and let time sort it out? It breaks my heart to think she doesn't have any friends. I know it is a classic thing for kids to say but this has been going on for a whole reception year and now the start of year one.
