Been lurking here since the summer with the odd little post, whilst reading up on and getting my head round my DD's issues. She is 10, adopted at 14 months. One month in the HDU withdrawing from methadone (BM says wasn't taking heroin during pregnancy, but SW didn't believe) then straight to foster carer, who had up to three other babies at any time.
She's always been what we descirbe as "wonky" and have tried to help with that in various ways, but she is also lovely and funny and to me perfect.
Friendships have always been an issue and are not getting any better. What I'm after really is some advice for me to give to her on maintaining peer group relationships. She is brilliant at making friends, but at some point she'll be mean to them (not using violence so much anymore, crowing glory was stabbing someone with a pencil at the end of Year 3 Or drop them for someone better, then can't understand why they don't want to be around her. It's never her fault btw and I can't believe a single word she utters
Anyone got any sound advice?
