[quote=Anonymous]Have you thought about Girl Scouts?  Getting her into a troop now would be pretty easy.

Also, have her and her cousin invite 2-3 friends over for a sleepover together.  Order pizzas, ice cream sundae bar, put out of a bunch of board games and movies and let the night take it's course.

What I will say is don't do therapy like you said.  There is nothing wrong with her.  I think if I was that age and my parents wanted counseling because I was introverted or having a hard time making friends (with CP it already is tough) then having them think I need help would make me feel worse.

And for what it is worth.  I have a very pretty, smart, athletic 13yr old who is very introverted, prefers to stay home on the weekends, and isn't into the boys/make-up/shopping.  She does her sports, hangs out with friends sometimes but mainly is happy at home reading books, listening to music or playing card games with her parents or watching movies. I don't push her to be popular and appreciate her for what she is.

Kids these days are always "on" and have little downtime.  Some kids need downtime more than others.  My daughter is one of those kids and that is okay.  Is she the most popular and sociable?  No way - but she is happy.  It is tough for me as I was a social butterfly at this age but not all girls are the same.  So don't worry too much unless she really starts to show depression.

Be proactive a little but don't push.  [/quote]
