That's it really and I think one feeds into the other. We are very supportive of anything she wants to do. Unfortunately, she is not sporty or especially musical (some physical and coordination issues) though she does go to those sort of activities and enjoys them reasonably well. Our suggestions of drama classes have gone down like a lead balloon.
Has anyone any experience of anything like a 'life coach' for a child? Someone who can help her build her self esteem. She feels no-one really wants to be her friend at school and feels left out from friendship groups (shyness about joining in at times I think).
We praise everything she does as appropriate, but it doesn't seem to make much difference at times.
