I’m a single mom of one and my daughter is really fond of me. She calls me her best friend, we share everything with each other. But I wish she had her own friends, she doesn’t have friends. I want her to make friends with children around her age, she’s just 13.
My daughter seems to be more matured than her age, and she doesn’t have friends within her age group. How can I help her make friends around her age?

It isn’t a bad thing if your daughter considers you her best friend though. If you’re concerned about her making friends with her age groups, you may try to register her into some programs where she can relate and interact more with children of her age. That way, she can mingle well and make friends. But while she makes friends, be sure to pay good attention to her. Friends could be bad influence most times.
If I were you, I wouldn’t want my daughter mingling with other kids, especially those whose family I don’t know or close to. However, if you’re keen on making friends for your daughter, you can engage her in some after school activities such as dancing, sports, language learning, and others. She will definitely meet new faces and make new friends.
