10 year old having trouble making friends

Hi. I have a 10 year old daughter who has ADHD and she has a hard time making friends at school. She is new to the school this year, but has not been able to find a friend. She is a nice girl and really wants to have a friend. does any one have a child going through the same thing? I am interested in connecting. I'm in the aurora Co area. Thanks

that sounds so hard. I live in PA and have a teen so can't be any help there but have you tried an activity outside of school? My teen was very into rock climbing and thought it also helped with the ADHD and focus. Just a thought.

my (almost) 11yo doesn’t have trouble making, but keeping friends is hard for her because of boundaries. I would ask the school what clubs or events she can go to to meet with them outside of school. Sometimes the structure is what gets in the way.

Not what you're looking for?
