[quote=Anonymous]I just found out I have one of those.  One friends parent informed me that my child gives the side eye (and other faces), will not make eye contact (not even when spoken to), will be "off in her own world" and not answer one word answers, whispers and jabs off to the side, will not hold a basic conversation (hello, goodbye, please, thank you), fails to engage on a basic level, and is basically rude as can be.

I confirmed it with other moms, as I know them well enough to ask, thankfully.  My child does this with friends she has had since first grade!  How can I teach her not to be a rude little so and so?  Should I tell my friends (parents) to correct her?  My children are not like this at home, and not with just one parent, but essentially with most/all parents outside the home - they are certainly not strangers to her, and no other children seem to be doing this.  Example:  one of the moms took her for a morning, and as she got out of the car, did not even say thank you or goodbye. (This is why I inquired). Is this normal for a ten year old?  Again, my other children did not do this.  I did not want enforce bad behavior, I simply want her to give one word responses.  She is more than capable, and is fairly smart and fairly social, FWIW.  I guess I could ask more questions, but I wanted other parents' opinions before I say something.  :shock:   [/quote]
