I really do embrace it! Just want to her learn to discriminate more what info she shares and where and when she shares it.
That's a lot of metacognition for a 9 year old. Although some kids 'get it' from a much younger age. Would you really want her to be that aware of how different she is from the norm? Or working that hard to fit in? I see lots of advantages from being either way.
I guess a happy medium is best.
I've seen many kids become motivated to monitor themselves when puberty hits and they get more interested in the topic of peer relations. But of course, getting motivated and getting skilled are 2 different things.
I guess it would be useful to her if you pointed out in real time situations with others where thoughts flew into your own head, and your edited them - and what the reasons were.
Anyway - good luck with the testing! Did it go ok?
