Well, the holy grail of extracurricular activities would be a group of geeky teens playing RPG based on
Doctor Who. I have heard tell that such a thing exists. We are investigating!
(Or Monty Python, or The Hitchhiker's Guide)
While the RPG components of D&D appeal, the basic fantasy-element of the game play is "Meh." She's more of a sci-fi and Metaphysics girl at this point. D&D might have appealed MORE about two years ago. The bonus, of course, is that it is great for executive skills and it tends to draw geek-type kids to start with.
She'd probably like being DM, but is not experienced enough for that. Yet.
Hmmm. Dropping back to fewer courses... She has a couple of electives right now, but one of them is one she's actually liking. (Consumer math-- applied personal finance type stuff, which she likes.) Dropping the other one, though-- now THAT is a possibility.
I wonder if we could still do that this late in the term?
Thanks for the ideas.
DD is happier and eating more normally now than just three days ago.
I think that this episode suggests that EARLY intervention (that is, when you first suspect a problem like this (possible ED) don't horse around and fail to seek professional help PRONTO.
DD seems ironically quite relieved that we understood that this was a
call for help.
