Ask Allison: My daughter's friends have dropped her and I'm worried about her mental health. Should we move school?
Briefly

My daughter is in fifth class in school and ever since September has been very quiet. I probed gently a few times and it turns out that her friends, who she has played with since Montessori, no longer talk to her as they have started hanging around with a cooler kid, who is excluding her. She is very quiet and sweet, and my heart is absolutely breaking for her. She hates going to school and I am worried it will affect her mental health.
I tried to bring it up with the mums I am friendly with but they didn't want to engage - these are the same women I went for coffee and to the park with for almost a decade - I can't believe it.
