[quote=Anonymous]My 10 year old daughter is pretty introverted and has social anxiety for which we just started therapy. She hates going to the pool this Summer because she's become very self-aware of the fact that kids her age are all playing together and not with their parents. Most of these kids are all very social with each other because they are on swim and/or dive team together. Even though my DD has a good friend who belongs to this pool but the friend is on swim team, so when she's there she's part of that whole pack and my DD becomes too intimidated to join her friend. Just looking for commiseration here. I've kind of written off the pool this summer and am thinking that next summer, if things aren't dramatically different, we'll join a different pool that isn't as full of kids from our school so DD can feel more relaxed there. In the meantime, any thoughts, advice, etc? [/quote]
