Dea r that’s life!

Our shy nine-year-old is not in the ‘popular ’ group at school, but always invites every girl in her class to her birthday parties so no-one feels left out. However, she is rarely invited to her classmates’ parties and then gets very sad. Our school principal is always going on about kids and ‘resilience’, but it’s heartbreaking. - Rochelle * What do I do?
