It sure is nice to have all of you respond. My organizational self is going to take all the suggestions, copy them into a document, and take it to my meeting with the AIG teacher. As I stated earlier, the guidance counselor is rather cold (I'm scared of her!!!). The AIG teacher is a sweetie.
DD has always struggled with friendships. Both in K and 1st she had best friends who eventually told her they didn't want to be friends anymore. She chose not to have friends for awhile after that. We did go to a therapist for a bit then. Anyway, she tends to make friends with those who are with her for long periods of time (the kid who sits next to her all day long in 3rd grade for example). Well, that's not how middle school works. They zip in and out of class all day long.
I am buying that book about friendship mentioned on another post. In fact, I need to order Christmas presents so I will get to that in a minute.
I will give you all an update after I speak to the AIG teacher.
Christmas cookies to all those who posted so many good ideas!!!!!!
