[quote=Anonymous]As an introvert she may just want some quiet time during recess, etc. School can be very draining. I actually identify as being similar during elementary, a little quirky, etc. I loved doing the swings during recess or reading a book b/c I needed downtime. Over time I found after school things where I had good relationships/friendships with smaller groups of kids, whether it was a school club or church friends. As an adult sometimes I wish I was the cheery extroverted person that is socially easy all the time, but I value my quirky friendships and eventually found my quirky husband and now we have two quirky kids haha. I also remember spending a LOT of time in elementary hanging w/my mom and loving that, so I would really cherish that time--you are a safe place for her! I think maybe you have some angst b/c you felt left out/the loner in your family, but if you can be a loving mom to your daughter, that will be a great secure foundation that she can build on.
