[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of assertive quips, which can sound fake if it's not your daughter's personality, try non-committal "damper" responses. "Huh." "Okay." "You think so?" Or even "What an odd/random thing to say." Something that's dismissive but kind of mushy, just absorb the comment and pass over it like someone just commented on the weather and you don't find the conversation all that interesting and want to escape it politely. Help her brainstorm response that feel natural to her. [/quote] Thanks - we have also tried to coach body language, which is some ways is more important than words, right? Any advice on that or anyone have luck coaching this aspect? It normally comes from an inner sense of confidence, but since hers is suffering, it shows in her body language. [/quote]
