[quote=Anonymous]Your daughter is probably not exaggerating, and even if she is, her perception is that all the girls are mean and she is dealing with this. I echo another poster’s suggestion about getting her involved in activities outside of school. My DD went through similar things, and was a contributor because of her impulse control, although she wasn’t nasty with others, and Girl Scouts was a lifesaver. It has given her the opportunity to develop close connections with a group of girls and given the limited amount of their interaction, and the fact that their time together is structured and led by an adult in a small group,  she doesn’t have as much time to get on their nerves. She also participated in a competitive sport outside of school. So her birthday party only had one girl from her class but had girls from scouts and her sport.

Also, ditch the social skills groups. An OT once told me that once kids get older it is better to have them in real-life situations or activities with adults close by so that kids can learn social skills in real settings. [/quote]
