[quote=Anonymous]Have you done any role playing with her regarding being pushed around? We did a LOT of role playing over the past couple years and it really helped my 6 year old. At first, he'd over react in an actual situation w/another kid even after role playing...I think it was just stage fright (e.g., "I SAID NO" at the TOP of his lungs). But now he's much calmer and able to state things clearly and not had any problems.

What opportunities have you given your daughter to explore art or physical activity? My son hates classes; playing games like tag and hide and seek; and group sports, but loves running, rock climbing, throwing, catching, swimming with his father, etc. We just had to find his thing for physical outlet by offering up many low stress times to try things out (e.g., we go to the rock gym the second it opens and it is basically empty). We do a lot of 'junk art' at home; so, art without any goal -- just random supplies and household items he can explore (e.g., toilet paper rolls, jar tops, wood scraps, etc.).
