Hello, how can I help my DD. She is 8 and my middle child of 2 older disabled boys and a younger boy. She is the youngest in her year (will be year 4) but has always had a group of about 8 girls who have been friends since reception. Towards the end of last year I was getting a lot of tears about her friends being mean and leaving her out. I tried to do lots of play dates (these are really hard for me to do!) and did notice a number being turned down. To be frank pretty much all her friends are only children of wealthier families than mine. They all do funky things like concerts and holidays abroad and have trendy clothes. I know this is an age old problem. Anyway my daughter tries to make up for this by being the 'funny one'. Yesterday I invited her group round for a play date in the garden. Only 4 wanted to come. When they did come I could see what was happening. They were discussing things and saying to my DD 'you wouldn't understand' then saying her play date was boring and making other arrangements to go to each other's houses where they had more social media stuff. I'm sure you can picture it. My DD was in bits when they left. How can I help her? Thankyou
