[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This could have happened with “bossy” girls too. I’d keep the boy vs girl out of the conversation and say can you help my daughter insert herself better into the process.[/quote]

+1 this has little to do with gender and much to do with personality. My son's teachers always said he got lost when seated with a table full of alpha girls or alpha boys.[/quote]

I agree with this.  My observation at this age is some kids are just a lot more alpha and confident and they are both boys and girls.  I would focus on your child and what you need to do help her advocate for herself in any setting.  Because I'm guessing this type of thing might happen to her with a group of alpha girls as well.[/quote]

It's summer camp, though, not a school grade.  If a girl doesn't want to speak up when the other kids are more alpha, then is that a problem at that time?  It's a problem at school when group projects are part of a grade.  But at summer camp?  That's different.  [/quote]
