[quote=Anonymous][quote]I wouldn't ask to switch to classes with her friends, but I think if you could at least get her in lunch with friends that will be helpful. Obviously a lot of people here don't have social anxiety or debilitating shyness. It's for sure easier for some kids than others.[/quote] I say don't switch. My sister has selective mutism, so I am quite familiar with debilitating social anxiety. My mom fixed things for her as long as she could, but at some point, my sister had to find a way to work things out - and she eventually did (with medication and therapies). If OP's child was in middle school, I'd say ask for the switch, but high school is too old for a parent to get involved in this, debilitating shyness or not. In fact, my sister blossomed in college (for her, meaning had more than one friend) once my mom was no longer there to navigate everything for her socially.[/quote]
