sundaymorning:hi,Perhaps you could find out more from her and her teachers.I recommend you not to distant from her as this will affect her emotionally, rather you could communicate and find out more before deciding.I agree on this part too. Do not distant yourself from her because this action is just based on a few assumptions...mel2sg:I have told her many times that she should use her recess time to mix around and socialize more with others rather than keep calling me, as when she back home she still can update me. I am trying to distant myself so that she can think and solve problems by herself. But before that, I would want to understand more...Is she calling you to share that she has a problem? Or is she bored that she has no one to talk too?And the assumption may be she has someone to talk too or she knows how to socialise even if she wants to.I have P6 kids telling me that they have no friend in school or they want to make more friends but they do not know how to.So depending on the actual problem, assuming she has no one to mix around in school, you may want to find out more from her teachers? Maybe by calling you often is her way of telling you she has not many friends in school and she prefers to talk to you?One other effect by distanting yourself from her may be sending a message that daddy does not want to help you...so just be aware of it.The best is to talk to her about it...You can start off with \"You know daddy has noticed that you have always been calling me from school during recess time. What happened? What are your other friends doing? (And if she says they have their own groups. You can say.) so why don't you join them? What is stopping you from joining them?\"And assuming that she does not know how to mix around, the skill that she is lacking is socialising and you may want to teach her that and encourage her to do it on a consistent basis...Children also model after parents...she will also watch and observe how her daddy and mommy socialise with their friends...My 2 cents,John
