DD's been struggling rather with friendships this term, in a sort of low-level feeling-left-out sort of a way. She's always been a bit of an oddball in the class, its never really been an issue before, but I think as they get older (going into yr 6 in September) it is becoming more of a problem for her.
She's quite touchy/defensive on the subject, but I think would welcome a book that she could read & think about and which might help us find a way into talking about the subject. I wondered if anyone had any recommendations of books that had helped their yr 5/6 girls.
She's not being bullied, more feeling left out of the 'in crowd' I guess mainly as she still likes to play pretend games, tag etc, and lots of the girls are getting into more grown up stuff.
We do have 'the unwritten rules of friendship', but its not really helpful as it's written for adults - I'm looking specifically for something suitable for her to read herself. She has the 'What's happening to me' book about puberty and that was great - it eased us into discussing things by chatting about what she thought about it, IYSWIM.
