[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the most helpful social tips I was given was from my older cousin's then-boyfriend (now husband) who told me each morning while getting ready, come up with three different things to discuss with random people.

So like, today it would be:
1. Diddy guilt on two counts
2. The gov't built a huge holding pen in like two weeks, but why can't we built for homeless people?
3. My oven is broken and I'm trying to cook around it (then talk about things that can be cooked without an oven).

So for a kid it could be:
1. Diddy - same topic
2. What camps are you going to this summer?
3. Did you get any of the TJ's mini tote bags? What color? (then they can talk about which colors they want, who has, who'd be willing to switch, etc.). 
4. Ginny & Georgia[/quote]

This all seems bizarre to me and would seem to highlight one’s social awkwardness.[/quote]

OP here. I get this is helpful to engage. But I think my daughter wants things to not be so "set up" or "contrived." She wants to be able to bring up topics naturally. So she wants to know why she has difficulty with this when other girls don't. [/quote]
