[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got a text from my 9th grader - sat by herself at lunch today. :( Not a huge surprise, truly - she is so painfully shy. Anybody have any good tips for some tough love here? She has had friends in multiple iterations of her life, but the other person always has to make the first move. We have tried to imprint on her how important it is to talk to people and ask them questions; not just sit on the sidelines, but nothing is sticking. [b]I'm so stressed about how this first day is going already.[/b] [/quote] Sounds like your anxiety is trickling over. Teens need to figure this out on their own. I know it seems mean and you can help them out a bit but I think we are stunting our kids with talking to them during the school day. [/quote]
