6 year old girl friendships- Help!

[Worthygirl]

Aibu to think girls friendships are so complicated? My 6 year old seems so unhappy in school and it’s mostly because if friend issues - it all seems to sit so heavily with her already.
I am going in to see the teacher tomorrow as she’s come home today sobbing again as she feels like the outsider all time.

We have had lots of play dates & she gets invited to parties but she just doesn’t seem happy in school.

She’s so negative about it all and it’s really difficult to know how best to handle it.

It’s all to do with friendships tbh.

I think (from memory being a child in school) that when your in primary school, they even then have all the popular clubs and sometimes you feel so left out if you are not included or you don't have much friends. Being invited to parties and play dates are arranged by parents, not the kids so when they are at school, other kids are maybe being mean to your daughter. I don't know really I am just guessing.

Speaking to the teacher to find out what is going on is best. However, just encourage your daughter to love herself, value her own worth, believe that she is a great person and that if other people are making them feel bad or being mean then they are not the type of people she should be spending time with.

Don't worry too much, friendships at 6 are so ever-changing. My daughter at 6 seemed to be a loner. She never really spoke about anyone in particular, maybe for a week or two and then they were 'someone else's friend'. Now at 8, she has her friends and it is the polar opposite, quite intense really. It takes time to fall into place.

@poppiesally thanks- it reassures me a bit- my DD seems so unhappy at the moment & it’s really hard to know what’s best. She’s so little still & yet it seems to sit so heavily with her
