Hi, my DD is 8 & in an independant school.. I'm so worried about her as she's finding it hard to socialise with other kids especially girls.. There was one particular child that she's known since nursery & although they did tend to bicker they played together. I find that sometimes two of the same personality tend to clash. Anyway since year 3 this friend has befriended another girl & my DD feels pushed out so I advised to her to make a wider circle of friends but she's finding it really difficult I think she feels very intimated by other girls..
Her original friend now won't speak to her & is being very spiteful I told my DD to be nice to her & it's causing a lot of friction.. My Dd came on Friday & said she hates school & has no friends she gets on better with boys but their getting older & sometimes don't want girls around... My Dd comes out of school virtually every day frustrated & with a long face she seems to be angry all the time apart from weekends when she's at home.
I'm trying to organise some play dates but she might play with another girls at home but not in school.
I'm feeling so sorry for her maybe it's all part of growing up I really don't know what to do next .. Any advice greatly appreciated :
