I have a long standing and very good friend (from uni) who is the first to admit her dd finds it hard to make friends. My dd thinks this girl is 'weird' and has always thought that, ever since they were toddlers.
When I tried to get my dd to explain more of what she meant, she says this girl is annoying and has no concept of going too far being bossy etc.
My dear friend hoped to 'iron out' her dd's social skills and sent her to a very good boarding school as the village she lived in only had a handful of girls and she could tell these girls just tolerated her dd.
The boarding school has been a disaster socially for the dd as she has no real friends, but otherwise she seems to be ok.
I really like my friend and she wants us to get together in the hols but should I just confine it to term time so that dds don't have to be with her or what advice can I give my dds to stop thinking like that?
What is this 'switch off' button that stops certain girls being popular with others? My dds are generally easy going and so this is an unusual reaction.
