Hi everyone
This is my first posting, please be kind!
I have 2 daughters, aged almost 6 and 7. My youngest is outgoing, social and has lots of friends. i'm a bit worried about my eldest - she is the nicest, kindest girl you could ever wish to meet, and has been since she was a baby. She very rarely has ever had tantrums, and talks constantly. At school, she gets on with everyone and never seems to be in trouble (though she does struggle to apply herslef to her schoolwork - she daydreams alot).
This is what bothers me - she only has one friend, never gets invited out for tea or to other girls parties, and doesn't play out at weekends. She gets upset because she doesn't understand why she isn't invited over (and neither do I). I have invited various friends over to play but the invites are never returned. She is such a lovely girl and I hate to think that she is lonely, or being excluded for whatever reason.
Any advice? Thanks
