[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 405387, member: 1233"] thank you also has facebook (new for him) and would probably "friend" her. let me know. Check with the homeschool groups I sent links for. homeschool kids tend to be a LOT more tolerant/accepting. Also try to have an activity to invite the other girls to. Maybe to go see a movie or do something at one of those paint your own pottery places. We have a community arts studio that has all sorts of classes for kids to take. I know a lot of kids make friends at those things and they are not high pressure situations. maybe you can find one and she could meet kids doing a class there. or you could set up a class for kids - I know you are creative and talented so maybe if you taught a class over a couple of weekends then difficult child could make some friends. How is Sunday School going? Are you planning to go in the morning? It will be another great way for her to meet other kids - usually a small setting and kids are encouraged to be very nice to each other there. Jess has lost touch with a LOT of the kids. We never could afford all the sports and classes her friends did, and I wouldn't have put her in them all if we could. I don't believe it is healthy for my kids to be in a different activity every day, sometimes 2 or 3 on a day if practice and games or whatever are more than once a week. It is just way too much. So her friends would be scheduled out way ahead and it has caused problems. being homeschooled has made it worse, and I know the isolation can be a hard thing to handle. So taking these small steps will help, but it will not all come together in a week. So a little patience will be good for both of you. I am sorry she is so wanting a friend and none of teh other 2 are responding. Let me know if you want thank you's facebook. [/QUOTE]
