I don't know what else I can do to help her.
She ends up being picked on no matter what I do. She's socially awkward, says odd things, doesn't know when to drop the joke, talks over others about minor details which turn into monologues. She ends up being the one left out, not included, unwanted, never chosen.
I've had her moved classes, spoken to teachers, she's done a friendship course, seen the wellbeing lady in school, I am now speaking directly with parents when issues arise in a very civil, pleasant way in a bid to explain her difficulties and get them to speak to their children. So far, I've had good responses from parents and seen improvements, but it doesn't end.
I now have to speak to a very close friend of mine about her daughter's, quite frankly, nasty behaviour towards my daughter. I am dreading the conversation but I can not leave it. She's 10. I have worked hard to build close friendships with some of the parents at the school to help my daughter build close friendships but I'm finding that eventually, these friends will pick on her too, which makes things very awkward when it comes to meet ups and the children aren't getting along.
I've put so much energy into her friendships, but it doesn't work in the long term. She seems to end up irritating her friends. What else can I do?
