Y3/4 friendships - am I doing enough?

[Preciousprincess75]

DD is 8. She has a wide circle of friends and appears happy. However she doesn't have a 'bff' (to use her phrase!) and although she says this is her choice, she seems particularly keen to gain the attention of one girl. She appears to be a little in awe of her. There are often dramas around this particular child involving falling out with other girls in the class. We don't do a lot of playdates (working ft). Although she seems happy, should I be pushing one close friendship more? It makes me feel anxious that she seems so keen for acceptance from one child. Is this normal pre-teen behaviour?

Yes normal preteen behaviour. The girl I was in awe of at 8 I later distanced myself from and as the years went on couldn't even be bothered to accept invitations from her!!
I think though OP you need to take a step back and not push anything just provide a good atmosphere at home

She's 8. You need to let her form/inform her own friendships- they have to learn about who's a good friend and who's not. Just go with the flow
