What do you when your kid has no mates?
How do you cope? I mean it's tough my kid but I'm in a mess?! Some context, she does have some mates really but just is on the periphery of friendship groups. She has made an effort to stop trying persisting with the popular gangs, and found a few others to hang out with at playtimes but still, left out of sleepovers, playdates, god knows what else.. And I think she's probably ok with it, doesn't seem to be upset, happily bobs along. Would definitely like to be involved but generally ok. So my question how does a parent a cope with this? I'm heartbroken for her and it's making really sad. I've done lots of practical things, playdates at ours for example, given her tips etc but these things are not helping me, and I'm bit annoyed with some these parents, rightly or wrongly, I feel aggrieved. It's hard to take and hard to admit my friends that I'm struggling. So I'm wondering there must be others out there who feel like this?
