young teen girl feeling left out

[Guest guest]

What kind of teen girl things can I do with my daughter to help

her develop more age appropriate interests.

My daughter's interests still are very focused

and obsessional on areas that are not typical for girls her age.

Her best friend for the last few years has been her cousin. But

her cousin has moved on to an interest in texting on her phone and

talking about popular music. And my daughter takes some interest

but not to the same extent. And there is just too much excitement

on my daughter's part on parts of things that no teen girl would care

about. Such as collecting certain pokeman cards or excessive

interest in setting up the same fish tank over and over.

My daughter is so sad and depressed about her loneliness.

When she has a play time with a younger cousin they

play board games, and play on the swings etc. But I can't

sustain setting up play with younger kids they have there

own friends from there grade.

Any ideas on things I can do 1:1 with my daughter to help

her develop some more age appriopriate activities?

She is not the least bit athletic.
