[quote=Anonymous]I think you should encourage your DD.  Tell her how awesome she is for doing this and for being the one to put herself out there.  She is awesome. I bet a lot of her friends really really appreciate her doing this.  She could probably also gently encourage her friends “so glad you could make it — what about next Saturday?  Do you want to figure something out?”   But the reality is that some people are not good at this—it might be because they are afraid other people won’t like the idea or their house or whatever, it might be because their home situation is not ideal and so they don’t want people over and can’t commit to things in the future in case their dad gets mad at them etc, it may be that they are sort of on the edge of depression and can’t really get the psychic energy to plan but are so glad when others do.  If your daughter doesn’t have any of these things, that is so great. Think of it like a gift she can give to others that maybe do have one or more of these things holding them back.  [/quote]
