[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 532794, member: 8831"] mine HATES it. to the tune of she actually spoke up for herself and asked the teacher what she was doing there. frankly, she *doesnt* belong there...i cant tell if its the teachers idea of what a social skills program should be or if she's trying to legitimately meet the others needs. technically its speech (because of course i live in the land of perfect children that dont need such things as social skills help)....but the main gist of it is still turn taking and game playing type skills... mine is fine with that type of social skills--she knows how to function day to day. what she struggles with is groups of others her age and how to be 13. she needs to know things like how to fein interest in boys if she's not interested, or its dorky to say dorky, or abercrombie was so last year. i'm not saying she needs to learn the art of cool, but i am saying she needs to learn how to make friends and fit it on some level--and it does bother her if she makes some kind of faux pas and doesnt exactly know why. maybe that doesnt make sense but i dont know how else to say it. (know i could care less if she ever has a BFF or goes to a HS party or whatever--its on some level, important to *her*) not how to wait your turn to spin the spinner in the game of life. [/QUOTE]
