[quote=Anonymous]6th/7th grade is a tough time. Honestly - I would work on activities and forming relationships outside of schools. Sports teams probably not the best idea for a clumsy kid, but more individual sports could be great. I’d particularly look at golf, honestly. Women’s golf is a huge growth area. Other ideas - church groups, community theater, music or voice lessons, arts and crafts classes/lessons. I think kids at that age can really smell the “desperation” on other kids. If she gets even a few friends outside of school, she’ll seem more relaxed about social situations at school, and paradoxically might start to make more friends at school too. There’s also a bit of a social re-alignment around the time high school starts, where kids start hanging out with different kids. So that’s something to keep in mind too. Tell her to hang in there![/quote]
