[QUOTE="daralex, post: 123389, member: 4467"] HI! I wouldn't push it. It won't be the last opportunity for her to be social. my daughter is also socailly awkward and has had many problems in this area. She begged to let her go to summer sleep away camp at age eight. First one week, then two then three etc. She loved it! Some years were better than others but it was a chance for her to interact with "new" kids who knew nothing about her past and what names the other kids used to tease her! Think about following an interest that would involve interaction? Brownies, a sport, art classes, instruments, karate . . . anything that would involve being with kids so she gets more practice on social cues. Even soe museums have full day "classes" . This is only one trip and only one opportunity of the many others that will come along. If daughter isn't chomping at the bit I wouldn't push - she gets to learn natural consequences at the same time. Just my 2 cents -Dara [/QUOTE]
