Lonely child?

[trippingmama]

Hi! I have a girl now 3 years. I suffered from PPD and was difficult to cope up but now I'm doing better and getting back to life. But now I feel my girl is lonely like we go to parks she is running after kids. Wants to play with them but they tend to go away and not engage so much, which I get but today I took her to the park and seeing this attitude she said I don't want to go, the park is bad. This got me thinking should I have another? Though I don't want to but seeing her like this broke my heart. How to deal with the only child. Though I play with her but it's not the same having her own age or younger friends. Am I being selfish? Don't know what's the way out

I am with you on this.... my son (just 4) is the same he gets so much attention and play from us both but only other children at school or with cousins maybe once a month or less.

We went away on holiday and in the kids club in the evening he approached a group of 6 kids in the same family and just joined in running around but they wouldn't play with him, he felt lost you could see it and he kept coming back to us to ask us to play. It broke my heart. He too said they don't want to play with me I want to go home etc

He did get better towards the end of the day week but still never formed a friendship really we are going away again in may and I need tips to help him out on this break :(
