My daughter has no friends.. kids won't play with her?

Your story really touched me. I am sure your daughter is very nice. And i see that your doing your best. My advice for you is be friends with mothers who have kids around her age. Like invite an old friend (one who has a daughter her age) to your house. Or maybe a family member? Or you could just find a friend. I mean at school, its harder to socialize because there usually are groups and outsiders. But when there are 2 kids, they will play with each other anyways.

Please don't ever let her know the real reason behind the clothes and the hair.

do you have any friend's with kids?

maybe you can set up a few play-dates for her.

she's seven, she will grow up and get friends on her own eventually,

try sending her to school with some neat things to do or show that other kid's would think is cool. :)

don't try changing up her hair or anything.

ask her how she wants it, take her shopping and see what she likes!

she may only be seven , but she seems mature enough to choose her likes and dislikes.

put her in sports, it's always a good way to meet new people.

even if she isn't very athletic, i'm not either so don't feel bad.

you can even try taking her to some art classes with girl's her age. :)

good luck!

If she is intellectual which she sounds to be, the children are not connecting on her level?

Are there any children in her class that she get's along with? Could you possibly have her invite them over after school one time? It would be a start.

Have you got any friends with children close to your daughters age that you could invite over? It's kind of hard to do anything as she will be socializing with these same people until she finishes school and moves onto a different one.

Is there some sort of home school community near by where you can take her on a play date? Or maybe you can interest her in taking some sort of Art, Dance, Piano, or Acting Class. Something to get her around kids with similar interests. Maybe even take her to a story hour at a local Library, my mom took me to one of those when I was a kid, and that's where I met my best friend.

I hope this helps

Get her riding her bike and tying her shoes..basically get her caught up to the other children. Go outside this weekend and play soccer with her..a little mud and exercise is great and she will have fun. Let her play in puddles in the rain and get dirty. Changing her hair and purchasing brand name clothing is not sending her the right message. Things will settle and she will find where she fits in. Put her on a bowling team, or soccer or t ball team or dance class to get to know some other girls. Book smart does not make her people smart and she needs to learn this..anyone can be book smart. People skills are needed throughout one's whole life no matter what they do for a living or where they travel.

This is very common. My wife is a teacher and I often came to her class to help out. They are avoiding your daughter because she is seen as what people typically refer to as a "nerd". Young girls feel the need to surround themselves with what seem to be the popular girls who are often the mean ones as well. There is really nothing you can do to fix it. Your daughter was lucky to be blessed with the gift of superior intellectual knowledge over popularity which is the better of the to. Your daughter will make friends at her own pace. you could try to set up play dates with some of the other parents to speed up the process a little but that's the most you can do.

Uh DUH!!!!!!!!! Your the girls father and your playing games with beer. I think you need to be sending a better message to your daughter. And of coarse your sending mixed signals. What do u think? Now she's going to think that she can go and play "beer pong" with any other older guy and I don't think she wants that. You never know she could start doing that with people she's supposed to trust like her teachers or Uncle _________. You never know what could happen, anything can happen. And her friends? Oh gosh do the parents know your playing games with beers or that they are just staying over? You need to grow up and be a father not a best friend to play beer pong with. Whats the matter with you?

Try signing her up for an activity, maybe gymnastics (: or soccer to work on her social skills.

Get her involved in sports.
