DD is 6 1/2, yr 2, so quite young in her year.
She has made friends in her class well, and although the girls have sort of gone into 2 groups (older and younger girls), they are all quite nice and DD is friendly with all. She doesn't have a "best friend" particularly.
She is more friendly with the younger group, particularly 2 girls (whose mum's I am friendly with). These 2 girls really hit it off and like doing the same things.
DD has been saying to me for a little while that she feels sad and can't say why. Last night at bed time she told me it's because she doesn't have a special friend and at breaktimes, she listens to everyone else ideas and play them, but they will never listen to her ideas.
Now, I know that is probably not quite true, most little girls like to be "boss" and DD is no exception. She has to learn she can't be in charge all the time. But I can't help it, I now have a sinking, sad feeling thinking about her when she's at school.
I have done lots of work with her, about taking turns and listening to others ideas (she has a DS almost 5 yrs), I think she gets that. She is quite sensitive. Perhaps I should say to her she has to be patience and wait for her friends to get the idea about being what a good friend means.
Any other ideas what I could say to her? Any magic advice on what to do? I know she has to work this out, but it's so horrible not being able to wade in and sort out all her problems. WWYD?
