[quote=Anonymous]My DD has the same issues. Some things to keep in mind - kids like this do better with older kids and adults because the older kids/adults are more mature and tolerant of your child. This doesn't teach your child anything really in terms of social skills and relating to peers. It has nothing to do with your child and everything to do with the other older kids/adults and their maturity level. - social skills groups can be tricky. they have to be of sufficient duration for a child to get comfortable with the group and then be able to actually use the skills discussed. You are asking a kid who already has anxiety in a group situation to go into a group with kids he doesn't know , be comfortably instantly and work on socializing. In reality, it takes kids a much longer time to get to know each other and until they do the social skills part isn't really going to work or help. Just being directed an adult won't help the kids feel more comfortable. [/quote]
