[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 40701, member: 3527"] Sending children this age with these kinds of problems can be stressful, I am sure. The one thing that comes to my mind is trying the "group" playdates, where the parents are all there and the kids all play together. This is a good way to ease your daughter into the scene and still be there to intervene if things start to get hairy. Also, it is a great way to get some free time and be able to have somewhat of a social life. You get a chance to socialize with the other mothers while the kids play, and if you can get them to understand your child's problems at this age, then if you remain close with them as the children grow up, they are more likely to become part of your support group. It is nice to have friends that you don't have to explain your child to, and also nice to have people around that you don't have to defend yourself or justify things to. Also, if most of the kids are around the same age, they will be in school together, and already being comfortable with your difficult child's personality, they are much more likely to be understanding and considerate of her as they get older than some of the other kids in class who don't know what it's like to try to interact with a "difficult" playmate.
