I have just got back from DD2's sports day and found it quite upsetting and that it confirmed for me some of my worries about dd. She really doesn;t seem able to cope with a lot of social events. She spent the whole hour or so standing around, shuffling about, looking anxious and biting her nails. I could have wept for her - she clearly wasn't enjoying herself, didn;t chat to the other children - she joined in because it was what was expected but the whole event was clearly a source of stress, not something to be enjoyed . We have noticed that when we drop her off at school she generally doesn't want to run around a play, like the others. Her school work is good and she is generally helpful and good and mature for her age. but seeing her today made me really sad. How can I help her relax and enjoy life more?
