[quote=Anonymous]2nd grade was the absolute worst for my adhd/anxiety kid. He couldnt keep friends. He got invited to nothing. He was very active in sports and music and I just leaned in hard to those extracurriculars to get him peer exposure, even though none of those activities yielded outside friends. When we got the meds right, everything changed. By 4th grade he had so many friends! I remember crying when a little boy knocked on the door to ask him to play because it had never happened! I would encourage your daughter to do activities even if it doesn't involve friends. Get her some interests and something to fill time. But dont stress about the playdates or other stuff. Just make sure you're progressing with her therapy and keeping her engaged in various things. Do not compare her to others. Just support her where she is. Its a rough year for nd kids.[/quote]
