Got an email from the teacher that DD4 is playing a lot by herself and that she does not like to play with other kids even when asked to do so. I asked DD about how she likes to play at school and she told me that she likes to play by herself because the other kids "mess up" her stuff and that she "gets more done" when she plays alone. She is very intense when she plays and seems to have a game plan. She seems happy and not lonely to me. Why is it that preferring to be alone is such a bad thing? If she is happy with it why can't her teacher be? Any thoughts or suggestions? Am I off here in my thinking?
