My daughter is always alone

My daughter is always alone

I have posted before; like an hour ago, but I don't know what happened to the post. Anyway, I have a beautiful nine-year-old daughter and what I am going through now is testing me in every way I could be tested. Her friends (who were not so consistent to begin with) have stopped calling altogether in the summer. Parents of these friends are and never were forthcoming with their invitations. If I didn't call, they never would. But now, in the summer, it has stopped altogether. I feel alone with her all the time. I see my beautiful, innocent flower watching tv a lot. I take her to camp three times a week; I take her to places that I can afford right now. I took her to our temple, but the kids play there a little, and then that's it. I ask G-d over and over to please provide me with some answers. I am at my wit's end. My daughter is here in the world, and no one seems to have any interest in adding to our life or having their lives enriched by us. I tried to find answers and don't have an inkling still as to what the problem is. All I ever got was that she was nice in their home. I feel that I am being punished by G-d at this point. If someone can help with some answers, it would be great. I am willing to go to any length to help my daughter.
I don't have many friends right now, so it's not like I can turn to someone for help. Thank you.

Something is amiss in your daughter's social skills, and the same may be true of you. It's not unsual for children whose parents do not have many friends to develop some of the same traits themselves. Do you see the similarities between your social presentation and that of your daughter? It's unusal for a child of nine not to have friends, so she must be interacting (or not interacting) in a way that promotes this situation.

Try girl scouts.  You can make friends that way and so can she.  She can join a troop or you can sign up to start one-it's not hard-and you can both learn along the way.  I did this for 9 years and saw exactly what I thought was happening:  my daughter was turning into me.  Telling everyone what to do, running the show.  If you are active in the troop-meaning go and help not go and sit and hold her hand, you can see how she interacts, or not.  Ask her teacher at school this next season to give you a weekly email as to her interaction with the others.  Is she bossy, is she withdrawn, is she active with the little girls and just shy?
