Helping my child to overcome loneliness...

Hi guys,
My daughter has just started to go to school by school bus. She is 4-1/2.She has no friends in the bus and so so really feels v sad and lost.Everyday though she likes going to school she dreds the bus.Her classmates are also in the same bus but they have thei friends and tend to sit with them and she sits all alone. I really dont know what to do so that my child feels better.
Please help!

Hi Lakshmi

May i know which school your daughter is in ?

hi,
1. since her classmates are also in the bus...you could get to know them /visit them at their home to talk with their parents
and befriend their parents first.

2.you can ask her to share sweets /snacks with her busmates....since it would atleast open a way to communicate.

Hi Sudha,
My daughter is NPS.

Hi Lakashmi,

Is it (NPS means North Primary School. )Find out whether, that yours daughter classmate are from your area. If so try to go early down and make freinds with their parents and aslo ask your daughter to talk to them and also ask their whether they are free to come down to park. This are very simple way. If you daughter is shy type you go personally and talk and slowly your will get use of it and make friends. This how i did when my children are young.

bye
