[quote=Anonymous]Is she medicated for anxiety? It seems like it's pretty severe and impacting her life in a lot of ways. I agree that you should talk with the teacher and try to get a better read on her friendship issues. It could be any number of things. Yes, she may be targeting a friendship group that simply isn't going to work out for her (like because the other kids don't have similar interests, or are at different maturity levels. Is your DD behaving appropriately around others-- does she recognize when someone is getting annoyed, does she respect others' boundaries physically, when someone approaches her does she respond in a nice way or is she paralyzed with anxiety and unintentionally giving them the cold shoulder? I had to work through a lot of this with my DD. Kids this age have to learn about social interactions and it may be that your DD can improve her social skills. It will only benefit her to have stronger social skills![/quote]
