DD is 11 years old. Covid cohort of primary joiners so the first couple of years were awry but she’s never really found her feet socially and increasingly has less and less friends. Really there is only one to invite round for play dates and the girl clique is increasingly domineering (and often nasty frankly by the sounds of it.)
I too never really found the mum tribe at school for various reasons - work FT, single parent so not invited to the family events that I know go on. All feels like I’ve failed her but everything I suggest of new clubs she won’t play ball or things that might be of interest are not viable. I guess I have to hope that yr 7 brings new opportunities but it’s so hard….
