friends for our only child 5 Months ago
Our daughter is five and my wife isn't exactly the most social person. I've tried play groups, and some have been great, but I'm looking for alternatives, a way for me to help my daughter to meet new kids that hopefully we can hook up with on a regular basis. She's our only daughter, a lot of fun, and dad can be fun too. We live in the Austin area.

What are her interests? Music? Sports? Dance? Those may be some great channels for both of you to meet people in your community who share common interests where you both could connect.

I think the key for young ones to make friendships is regularly occurring time together. Shared activities are ideal for this.

5 is young for sports, but teams have good a good source of this kind of thing for us here in Austin.

As @krellpw mentions, other classes are also great for this -- dance was fun for my daughter -- lots of studios here in Austin. Tapestry is amazing for this.

There are lots of art classes. Check out Laguna Gloria.

Anything where the kids are getting together regularly -- weekly or more often -- is ideal in my experience.

If she's interested in Science -- the museum is good.

And regardless of your faith, the Dell Jewish community Center has TONS of classes and activities for kids of that age, open to all.
