My DD3 goes to preschool twice a week for three hours, and children like her and she is very social, but I wish she had one friend that she could really talk with and play with in a way that she plays with me. In part, this would give me a break, but also show her it is fine to be who she is and that children can say and do the things she does. We met a child turning 6 today at the library and her speech and play seemed to lag behind my DD3 (and this is one of the only places I can say this and not feel that someone thinks I am bragging or being mean) and I just felt sad. Maybe it is my need and my DD is fine, but I imagine she'd like to be able to find someone to really play with her on her level and imagine a 6 or 7 year old might think she is too little since she isn't that big and has a baby's face. Where do your little ones find children to play with if they aren't readily available through preschool, neighborhood, or classes? Thanks.
