We have moved to a new area and my kids have settled in well I think. My eldest has struggled a bit more to make friends with other boys in the mixed class. I have organised a few playdates but am finding it surprising that neither child has been invited for any. We are a bit rural so I'm not sure if that's it but I see other parents getting together and it just doesn't seem to be happening for us. I'm finding it upsetting and not really sure how to address. I don't want my own feelings about it to take over - when ultimately this is for my kids benefit. I find this stuff excruciatingly hard despite being outwardly a confident chatty person. Does this sound normal for year 1 age kids?

You can't force kids to make friends. Leave them to make their own. It will come with time.

The kids probably aren't arranging them, it will be parents who are friends using the kids as an excuse to meet up.

Have you tried befriending the other parents?
