[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I was the same way and my daughter struggled with this on and off throughout her school years. I totally understand the heartbreak. I don’t like to use the term socially awkward or shy though because it has a negative connotation. God created us all with different types of temperaments. The majority of the population is extroverted which makes it difficult for introverts to fit in but not impossible. We have a special place in the world and I see God is using people with our gifts in incredible ways. I give you a shout out for stepping out of your comfort zone to make friends and to help your daughter as well. Your daughter will eventually find her own way to make friends. Being part of a bible believing church helped us out a lot. Also, I recommend looking into Mops.org which is a Moms group and seeing if there is one in your area. It is for Moms with children of all ages. They have regular meet-ups and great encouraging speakers throughout the year. One other suggestion is a local children theatre/drama group. This really helped my daughter in her confidence too. [/quote]
