[QUOTE="klmno, post: 413658, member: 3699"] I don't [I]think [/I] she is 11yo now- how old is she, Jen? It sounds like a double-edged sword- to me. She won't reach out to others, however, her entire world revolves around you and she has no one else she'll socialize with. In the regard, she'd be much better off in school where it's normal for kids to start developing (somewhat) "real" friendships as tweens and teens. I like the idea you mentioned in another thread of getting her back into a school setting that can help her adjust and get her back into a life in the real world. Otherwise, I just don't see this getting any better. I'd say that would have to be done as well as your structured time alone at home- not one or the other but both so she can feel a gentle pressure/encouragement/motivation to not let anxiety keep her from trying to make friends her age.
