[quote=Anonymous]Your child is not going to make progress in terms of social skills, social anxiety if she keeps trying to get this social situation the way she wants it to be. It's not going to happen. I would not have the cousin attend the birthday party. Have her mom plan something special and then claim she forgot about it so now she can't attend the party.. After the party is over, go cold turkey and stop the three way socializing with your DD, cousin, and other child. It's not ever going to go well and your DD will only end up frustrated and hurt. Don't explain it to DD. Just tell her it won't work it to see them. Start encouraging new friendships. Expect this to take a while and to be difficult. But this is very likely the only way your DD is going to make any growth. She is stuck in the same patterns with the same people. [/quote]
