nt child, social issues

[Guest guest]

I have a NT daughter, 9 years old, who has high anxiety and pretty

shy. She stands back noticeably in a group. She participates in

sports and does well, although she doesn't seem to bond with the

other kids like I would expect. Is there anything I can do? She is

on some medication for anxiety, although the dose is very low. I am

wondering if there such a thing as a social group for NT children,

any books on role playing that I could do with her, we have thrown

around the idea of counseling or upping her meds, although I feel

like she is one of those kids that will " fall between the cracks " .

Not bad enough, but could use some help. Any ideas would be great!

Thanks,

Laurel

Hi Laurel,

My daughter is somewhat like yours, and I've heard most children are

like that, very much so, but are usually " swept " (intimidated?) into

being like other children, thereof? of the problem? .. . Your

situation is more typical than you think, perhaps?

What my wife does incredibly well (Me too, I suppose. is assure my

daughter " she " is " fine; " (the way she is, of her feeling/s;)

everything else may be a bit of a problem? (to intervene upon?) and

cultivate towards " confidence, " (in you?) of her having " true " friends

(over, to her world, to start, of " your " moderation, thereof;)

and " having " fun with the way she is, of her being an " individual, "

first, thereof? .. .

Not everyone can be the individual your child is, which I would be

somewhat proud and encouraging of, to a point. With confidence comes

all the friends we need, thereof? .. . I'm confident of you of the way

you are in that respect of " communicating, " with us.. . Communicate

with her, thereof? Communicate with her any way you can is my advice

to you and all.

Nothing is worse than our loved ones (care-givers?) being anxious or

lacking in confidence of us. Period. And don't fall asleep at the wheel

in that respect? .. . (Not like you, but some. A routine that isn't

getting very far isn't worth holding on to with respect to our

promising children, " always, " promising.. . " Experiment, " (of your

intuition?) towards " her " experimenting, with your moderation, of

Course.. .

Be reasonable, honest and communicating with her, about her feelings

and feelings generally, and get a life yourself, perhaps, thereof? I'd

say you don't have much, so much, to worry about, really, and that you

are in very good company, thereof.. . Be aware of that

I don't buzz around and chat with my " friends " as much as others make

out to be necessary, of socializing? .. . Not at all. I have the

friends I need in that respect of Communicating.. .

My sense of it.

Mike,

I ABA

ABA for Understanding More, of The feeling/s.

Of honesty. Communicating. Of The feeling/s. Of Understanding More.

What we should be " more " about? .. . On how I do that and get The job

done, " without " so much fear as demonstrated and reinforced by my doing

it, ( being my children's " guardian angel " ? .. . Somewhat, thereof

P.S. My daughter is doing fine in that respect of our giving her all

that she needs, that we can, and of our trying to make her work more

for what she wants, " otherwise " ? .. .;=)(For the " loose " ends of it

all.. .;=)

The official language isn't so important for what I do well.. .
