Hello all
my first post and came here looking for guidance and some reassurance if possible.
we have had a rough end of term with my daughter who is 15. She was quite cruelly excluded on a weekend camping trip by a group of her long-standing friends. She took it very hard indeed. She is increasingly out of step with her peers. She is likely gifted (we haven’t tested her) but is forcast all 9s in her GCSEs and does this fairly easily on top of a myriad of other clubs and activities. It’s at a stage I think where she is finding it harder to fit in. She is busy during term time due to all her interests but the holiday has proved hard. We do all we can to support her. She is lively and exhuberant and I think this enthusiasm sometimes annoys others. I don’t want to dent her self esteem or change her to fit in but I’m struggling to know how things will go when she goes back to school in a few weeks. Any thoughts, advice or perspectives are appreciative as it’s hard to talk to mum friends locally as everyone knows every one! Thank you
