What can I do for my daughter?

Question

My 6 years old daughter started a new school this past week. It's a private school with 18 or 19 kids. Most of the kids there already knew each other from previous years. My daughter is a little shy in the beginning and I feel bad for her because it takes her a while to warm up to other kids. She try making friends, but the other girls didn't seem to be interested or nice to her. What can I do to help her.

Answer 1

As painful as it is for you, you just have to let her do this on her own.

Answer 2

It is not that other girls are not interested. It is because other girls are comfortable with each other as they know each other. Since your daughter is a shy one, then you should talk with her teacher and find out how your daughter is doing in the class? Also, you can find out from your daughter how other girls are treating her? You can play a role model at home time to time as if you are one of the girls in her class. So, your daughter would know how to act or get along. That should help your daughter to feel free to mingle with and getting liked by others.  

Answer 3

I would contact her teacher and ask what you can do to help her.  It may be as simple as letting the other girls have time to get to know her.  The teacher is your best source because she knows whats going on.  Good Luck

Answer 4

put cookies in her lunch

Answer 5

Have a chat with her teacher to make sure she is keeping an eye on her which I'm sure she is already doing. Apart from that give her time to settle in as these things do take time with most children being fine after a couple of weeks.  

Answer 6

Cookies in her lunch or a party if you afford one.

Answer 7

You just have to give it some time. My daughter was in a similar situation when she started at a new school in a small town. At first, the other children ignored her but as the year progressed, a few other girls started becoming interested in her and would talk to her and hang out with her at recess. Gradually, more of them started talking to her and by the end of the year, she had made quite a few friends.

Answer 8

I would bring make cup cake and have her hand them out with a juice that always a go icebreaker for small kid's.  

Answer 9

tell your kid to ignore those people who are not nice to her. Tell her to think of studies and put it as her priority and not the students around the school...

Answer 10

don't focus on "friends".  the kids are classmates and she attends school for an education.  this will ease her social anxieties.
