[quote=Anonymous]Sending you lots of empathy. Being empathetic with your child is helpful. As I told my DD, "Show me the person who wants to go back to middle school because it was so great. I have yet to find him or her." We have a good laugh about how hard and awkward the middle school years can be, especially when things happen at school to others she knows and we talk about why her peers may have responded as they did. Most of the time it is because they felt awkward or self-conscious. I found creating a few routines where we regularly bond, ie walk for boba, go to Target, watching a weekly show together and encouraging her to try a host of activities helped. The teen years are about trying out different groups and finding your people. Maybe she hasn't found her people yet. As long as she isn't afraid of trying new activities or having new experiences I would not be too worried. [/quote]
