DD10 has always had friends, but she's also always had problems getting along with other kids--lots of tears when kids "don't want to do what I want to do." In third grade (the year before last) teacher had to contact me, because she was losing her temper during group work when the kids wouldn't do what she wanted. She talks a lot about being an outsider, yet she has playdates and gets invited to birthday parties. (Although, some playdates end in tears as described above.)
I'm just wondering if this is:
--a specific temperament thing
--a gifted kid thing
--a spectrum thing (she's not diagnosed)
And, if your kid had this problem, did anything help?
