DD aged 9 has always been extroverted and had a large number of friends. Year 5 has been a massive change for her, she's lost long term friendships, hates school and our neighbour (different school) who she has played with since the age of 4 has been ignoring her. She's so sad she hangs out with me non stop when I know really she wants to be with friends. I'm doing my best to support her , I've looked up scouts , trying to arrange sleepovers with her cousin. I feel sick I hate seeing her so sad.
Does anyone have advice ? I thought it would be secondary school before all the passive aggressiveness and popularity contests. I feel so sad and worried for her.
