Good afternoon,
My wife and I have become increasingly concerned over our 12 year-old daughter's apprehension to forming and/or sustaining friendships. I have been pushing her to go outside on her bicycle and stop by some houses in the neighborhood. Like many kids these days, she wants to rely on texting, but my observations have been that texting is not a good way to connect with people.
She continues to be more withdrawn and appears to be regressing socially. I don't know if this is just a phase or something more to be concerned about. My wife and I have made an appointment with a psychologist to have her evaluated. Meanwhile, is/was anyone else in a similar situation? If so, how did you handle it?
Thank you!
