Both dd's are going to be bridesmaids for my sister in August. Dd1 (NT 8.6yrs) and dd2 (sn 6.1yrs). Dd2 has been a bridesmaid before when she was 3 and it was pretty disastrous.
She's going to be a flower girl as I thought if she could throw petals on the floor whilst walking down the aisle it may take her mind off all the people looking, and the pressure if it all. Dd1 will walk with her and hopefully keep her on track. I'll be on standby to whisk her away if it all goes pear shaped. I'm just so nervous about how it's going to go and really don't want her to kick off and ruin my sisters day, there will be 150 guests so pretty big.
Re photos she tolerates a certain amount but she never really does a natural smile, when 'smiling' for a photo she scrunches up her face unless you can catch her as you've gone and said something rude ie 'say horse poo to the camera'.
I have no idea how to tackle this so that we stand a better chance of this going smoothly, has anyone got any good ideas?
Briefly, very delayed in gross motor, social skills/ communication is poor but language is good. Cognitively good. Seriously on her own agenda, gets a kick out of being naughty.
Many thanks in advance
