I feel very down about it, she has struggled with friendships since she started in reception, and has additional TA help as she has mild learning difficulties/developmental delay...
She basically stands in the queue for her class in the morning and no other children speak to her....
I know she is young for her age and a lot of the girls in her year act much older than their years. I just don't know what to do for the best. DD seems happy at school but i know she does not really have any mates, she rarely gets party invites...
I am not saying that she is perfect, I know that she has a temper and she probably struggles with taking turns etc... so this may be why she is not included in friendship circles... Plus I don't think she finds socialising easy, her Year 1 teacher thought she had Aspergers and DD was referred to the Paed
DD has 2 older brothers and i sometimes wonder if it doesn't help that she has brothers and not sisters, or is it something that i am not doing to help her nurture a circle of friends,...?
I don't know what to do ... I have had various girls back for play dates but DD doesn't have many invites back. In fact i have given up with the play dates, which is not good i know - i think i will start again next week...
I have looked at another smaller school nearby but this seems like such a big change to make especially as she will start Year 5 in September and she is settled...
I think that DD is content at school, she doesn't complain about things - I just really worry about her...
Another thing is that when she is at home she is obsessed with watching the TV and so this causes friction...
Educationally, she is making steady progress but she does struggle with her concentration, her teacher has brought this up a lot recently...
I am not sure what I can do to her DD and this situation...? :(
Any advice appreciated x
