[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PPs who have said acting or creative movement also Brownies/Daisies can really help foster friendships and teamwork. My DD is now 9 and is similar personality-wise, and was starting to get bullied. She was diagnosed as dyslexic at age 7-8, so school can be a struggle, and she has to work twice as hard as the other kids to get average grades. She was also weak at some team sports like soccer because she is so passive and dyslexics are also known to be a little uncoordinated (she was the kid who always missed the ball and would air kick instead of make contact with the ball). After some trial and error, she has grown to love acting in theater, singing, and scouting. She also enjoys dance, although isn't super coordinated. All tend to draw nicer, creative, accepting and civic-minded kids and parents. She has come out of her shell a lot, and the theater/performing, has been AMAZING for her self-confidence, and is a good outlet for her.[/quote]
