DD (11) has been within the same circle of friends since pre school.
We live quite rurally and the school is small.
She has done clubs/activities but not really anything that has meant she has had to meet new children. All very small groups with targeted activity.
She goes to secondary school this year and I am worried that she needs to learn some skills to interact with other children.
She had a taster day at a new school and came away not knowing anyones names and having a really rubbish day.
If I can pre empt some upset by trying to help her learn to introduce herself to new people and get to know them with some little questions.
Can anyone recommend an age appropriate book that we can read together.
She is generally a confident child she just lacks the skills as she has never really needed them.
