[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - she seems to be less sad, which is good, but she is still quite withdrawn. It’s difficult for me to get a sense of how she is with the kids because whenever I’m around she continues to stand around just watching (or hair playing...), unless I give her specific tasks. She’s making friends and going out (including staying out all night this weekend), but it’s now been almost 4 weeks so it’s time for her to step up. Planning to have a serious chat with her and dh tomorrow so we can hopefully help her understand what the needs are for the job. [/quote] You’re the parent, she’s trying to stay back and not step on toes when you’re there. She’s functioning when you’re not there, right? Tell her to pretend you’re not there and do what she would do if by herself with the kids.[/quote]
