Is this bother just you or does your daughter mention it?
Its interesting that you sat that when the other 2 girls arrived they didnt even talk to your daughter. It sounds as if for some reason your daughter is not liked. If this is the case you can not make people like her.

You can’t force others to include your daughter, however you cxan include yourself. You could throw a party and invite & include all without any further expectations

I would feel pretty bad but counsel my child about this of they had a problem or were sensitive about this happening. Forcing relationships and friends never works and if people are mean, you are better off without them

It’s hard but I’d start by talking with the daughter about general things, not pointing it out as she may not even have an issue with it. Just continue organising things that include the whole group but maybe at your home.

I’m just wondering whether it is your daughters issue or your issue? I would feel exactly the same way as you, but if your daughter is not worried about it then I wouldn’t do anything. Of course she may be putting on a brave face, so that is something that you need to determine (hopefully in a way that doesn’t in the end make her feel bad about a situation she was originally ok with – tricky!). If she is upset I don’t think it hurts to have a gentle word with the other mums one on one , to ask if there are any issues between the friends that you should be aware of.
Good luck

You should have a quiet word with all three mothers, asking them politely if there is an issues at all. As sometimes there parents don’t know at times either what is going on in their own kids lives and choices they make amongst themselves.
That may be the best starting point and once you get feedback, then what to do would be more clear.

Very sad lesson but much better off with people who make an effort than those who don’t.
People will always make time for what and who is important to them.
Sending big love to your daughter.

Only way you can get answers is by asking the other mums. Maybe your daughter could shed some light on any possible problems. If you don’t ask, you’ll never knoe

Don’t do anything or you could possibly make the situation worse than it already is. Explain to her that you only need one or a few good friends in life and not everyone can be a friend. You can’t force these things.

I am so sorry to hear this. Unfortunately you can’t force friendships and what will be will be. I matter how heart braking it must be for your child. Are there any other kids at the school she might be able to build some friendships with? Or are there any after school or weekend activities / sports etc she could join to build some new friendships. This is on my mind as my daughter starts school this year. Good luck

You can not force friendships. Personally I would just have a chat with my daughter about different types of friends and that when she deliberately is left out it may be good to look around and make other friendships.

It sounds like they are being pretty rude. Unfortunately, you can’t control what other people do or make people be friends. However, I think you should definitely approach the other parents when they did something so blatantly obvious in front of you. It sounds like you live in a small town, so it should be pretty easy to confront them the next time you see them, or even message them if that isn’t possible.

I’d ask my daughter to talk to her friends and ask them to include her because she’d like to join in too and see if the girls will figure it out then organise a catch up with the mums and tell them your daughters a bit upset and feeling left out so you’ve asked her to discuss it with the other girls in hopes they can all figure it out. See what they say.

Things will change later, and if your daughter isn’t too worried about it, she might find that other children will want to be with her because she isn’t the type to get upset by petty things. Good luck.

This is a tricky one. If your daughter doesn’t care, then I wouldn’t worry about it. Friendships at this age do come and go. So the exclusion may not be a permanent thing. If I have read it correctly – there are two girls that are excluding your daughter. Groups of three of a friendship are an odd number and they often don’t work very well. I would talk with your daughter about what constitutes a good friendship, so that she can recognise good friends and be one to others. I know you said it’s a small high school, but who knows maybe someone new will start this year and the dynamics in their year level will change everything again. Best wishes as your daughter finds her tribe.

Gosh that’s difficult. I feel for the situation. Have you spoken to your daughter about it? Does she care? You don’t seem to mention her so wonder if you’re more worried about it than her? I think I’d be guided by how she feels rather than others behaviour. You can’t control others. Fact is, if you’re daughter shows she doesn’t care, they’d probably want to hang with her more. Keep being the bigger person and inviting who your daughter wants to spend time with. Growing up is so hard but it’s so temporary. Focus on teaching your daughter how to love spending time with herself and she’s so many steps ahead of those girls. If you are set on speaking to the other parents, I’d make it a quiet word to say you’d noticed the lack of inclusion and that your daughter was quite hurt, what was the reason she was not being invited. It may be an honest oversight but if it wasn’t, an approach of polite questioning and calling them out would likely embarrass them. If it was a deliberate action, I wouldn’t want my child learning from the parents or their kids behaviour. You can do better than that.

This sounds exactly like my daughter
I just found that keeping her busy doing stuff and taking her out myself she didnt bother about those so called friends
