DD is in yr3 at a local independent school. I like most things about the school including the smaller class sizes.
However there are only 5 children in her class, 3 girls and 2 boys. Because of this she struggles with her friendship with the 2 other girls. Think "2's company, 3's a crowd' amplified! All 3 girls are extrovert and assertive but day after day I'm being given tales of how she is left out of everything.
To make matters worse, yr 4 is an all boy class and the girls in yr 2 are very young.
I've tried explaining to her how the girls need to team together as there are so few of them but am at a loss as to how to help her. Tonight for instance, I brought the other 2 girls home as the mums were busy. They completely ignored DD and she kept asking when they were going home!
