[quote=Anonymous]OP here: DD’s activity is pre-professional dance - 15-20 hours a week. Dance gets a bad rap on this board for being competitive, but DD’s dance school is not the source of her anxiety. If anything, it gives her a stable group of kids with similar interests and lots of time together. She has made a few casual acquaintances, but noone she feel comfortable having over. And it doesn’t help her at school. She also plays in the school band, and we’d hoped that would lead to friendships but it hasn’t. I agree that anxiety is the most significant explanation for her troubles. We really need to find her a good therapist, but her last one was so ineffective, she is skeptical it will help. And the more I push her, the more she retreats and feels I’m judging her. PP asked about appearance and she is beautiful, not just pretty. So I don’t think that’s a barrier, but it does confuse adults who think she can’t have problems connecting with other kids.[/quote]
