[quote=Anonymous]My DD attends an all-girls school and I completely hear what you are saying. The forced interactions with boys' schools are awkward for everyone. Her activities aren't boy centered, but, this summer, she is in a situation in which she is working with a few boys, and she actually engages with them. I don't mean to sound sarcastic; I really wasn't sure how she would interact with boys or if she had the social skills to engage in a conversation. She and her co-workers have common interests and it's really great to see her developing friendships. What I worry about is that girls don't develop friendships with boys and see each boy as a potential date vs. the other way around. Thankfully, my daughter has decided she's too busy to date (at least for now).

In short, to answer your question, during the school year, no interaction with boys. In summer, yes, and she can do so with ease. And she likes it this way. We have two kids. Our other one (a boy) is obsessed with girls and it is very nerve-wrecking. I now appreciate the limited social interaction with our daughter, and, at the end of the summer, I'm delighted that our daughter will have a couple of new "boy" friends.
