[quote=Anonymous]I am the one who asked if the OP has other children. And two posts since then have alluded to why I asked. First, other children could provide a good assessment of the problem. You said you have one stepchild, who is in college. If you have a good relationship with him or her, they might have good insight. Also, an only child (which in this case is your DD, since she is being raised as the only child in the house, I assume) is often more at ease with adults than children. She may not have learned how to adapt behavior. This can range from being more fluent in adult conversations to being used to having all the attention. Siblings are right, but they help children navigate the kid word/ecosystem.

If your stepchild is close, or close enough, with your child, consider ways they can help. Again, this might be giving you advice. It may also be having them develop a friendship with her, taking her out, etc. If your daughter is more adept at being with adults than kids, this person could be a very helpful "bridge" of sorts.[/quote]
