10 year old dd always in her room

My dd recently spends majority of time in her room. Me and her younger sis have been watching Christmas films after school this week. She doesn’t want to join us. Is this normal? Should I be making her join us? She says nothing is troubling her but I don’t know something doesn’t seem right. But I do tend to let my mind run away with me!

Any help, thoughts much appreciated

My nearly 11 year old only doesn't spend all her time in her room because the WiFi is rubbish in there. Otherwise she would. It's pretty normal, I spent my life in my room from that age.

Depends, is it all of a sudden?
DD likes to spend time in her room as she can play her music, spread out her toys. Practise dances etc etc
She does also spend time downstairs.

I think it’s happened quite gradually. I guess it is to be expected but I miss her watching films with us or being part of what we’re doing in the house etc. Just part of growing up I guess.

If something doesn't feel right, can you try to find some 1-1 time to talk?

What social media does she have accounts for? When did you last check them?
