What can you do to get her away from this group, what can you do to encourage her to think of herself differently? I don't think she's starting down a very good path and I think you should figure out what levers you have to move her off of it. Do you know what she imagines herself doing someday, or what she really wants to do? Is it possible to use that information to draw her into doing something more, now?
She is "choiced" into this school and we don't intend to track her with this group to middle school. She'll attend our assigned middle school where my older dd goes now, although dd#1 will be off to highschool when dd#2 starts there. The middle school does team teaching and I intend to have her assigned to a different team than her sister had so she doesn't have the same teachers and inevitable comparisons.
In re to her interests, she wants to be a fashion designer, Hollywood makeup artist, or something having to do with botany. We haven't had much luck finding activities for kids in those areas as of yet. Dd#1, oddly enough, has had all kinds of local marine biology opportunities despite us living in Colorado. I'm going to keep working on trying to find stuff for dd#2, though. She tends to quit things as soon as she can, though, b/c she bores quickly and doesn't like to put in a lot of effort.
