make friends during the school year. There are not a lot of children in our neighborhood, so I am afraid that she will have a rather lonely summer. How can I avoid this and put her on the track to having some friends at school next year?

FINDING FRIENDS
FOOD FROM THE MEMPHIS RS FOOD TRUCKE ALLIANCE
Hopefully you have made the acquaintance of several mothers of first-graders in your daughter’s class. Contact them now, and make plans for some summer activities. Family activities can be a good way to break the ice in forming friendships. You could organize family trips to the zoo, water parks, or circus, as well as backyard barbecues. This could be a start on helping your daughter have more friends next year at school. Think also about some activities that your child might enjoy this summer, from taking ballet or gymnastics lessons to playing a sport or attending a day camp at a YMCA. Ask your child who in her class she might enjoy doing some of these activities with. Then see if you can arrange with the child’s parents for them to join your child in this activity. Another thing that could help your daughter find friends is to sign her up for a social skills class. It will help her learn more about making friends.
