[quote=Anonymous]When you have this type of background it is very hard not to stress about it for your kids, I know! But it sounds like you might be projecting a bit? She's not you. I don't say that to be harsh, but to remind you that you can't see her experience through the lens of your own. If you start to suggest her interactions with kids are negative, she's going to start to see them that way. Has she expressed that she's lonely? Maybe she's ok with hanging out by herself? Provide opportunities for her to connect with like-minded kids through participation in activities she's interested in. Ask her if she wants you to set up any playdates or arrange get-togethers somewhere - you don't mention her age but if she's older it might be more appropriate to meet somewhere the kids can be more independent. If you're comfortable and can connect with other parents it might help to show her you're willing to manage that type of situation, too.[/quote]
