My DD is age 9 this weekend - and really struggling to fit in socially at school. This time last year we spent months worrying about whether to move schools or not for a fresh start etc.
Finally decided yes, she would do better in a smaller school, fresh start, all girls - moved about 6 months ago.
I thought everything was OK, but it seems not now that I have had the call from the head.
Other girls dont want to play with her, or sit with her in class etc.
I have tried with her, I know she is impatient and we have worked through books on speaking to others nicely, and treating everyone with respect.
Is she doomed, will she ever grow out of this - or is it just going to get worse?
Her dad will go crazy if he finds out - its costing us ££ to send her to this school and he will think waste of time.
Does anyone have any practical advice, or just something new for us to try with her?
Like should we withhold extra-curicular stuff, like use it as a reward - or is this the completely wrong thing to do?
Really worrying now, as she has invited half the class to a birthday party this weekend - and I hope they haven't been sent under duress from the parents, and dont really want to be coming.
thanks if you have read this far - just want some advice please
