My dd is 10 and has two friends who she usually plays with at school. Recently I feel like my dd is being pushed out of the group and is the extra friend iyswim.
I will call the other children A and B.
From what I've seen, when my dd is with child A child B will always join in and start chatting to child A not my daughter. Child A and B do things out of school but my dd is never invited. Apparently they discuss it at school but it's never including dd. I have arranged them to both come over to our house but because child A couldn't make it, child B said she didn't want to come over.
My dd and child A used to be friends before they played with child B. Dd insists she likes child B but I'm not sure if child B likes my dd.
My dd is often left to walk into school alone as A and B stick together and run off. She sometimes runs after them but it is frustrating as they never wait. If my dd and child A are walking in my dd will always wait if they see child B on her way.
I wish dd would make new friends but she is in a small class with majority of boys. (Apparently the girls don't play with the boys unless they like football)
Is there anything I can do or say to help this situation? Or would it be best to let dd sort it herself?
