According to my brilliant brother
.
She's a people magnet, I see it everytime I take her to school or to other places where other kids mingle. The others ask her if she wants to play, she sasy "No" but not in the "I'm shy" tone, much more in a "Leave me alone" one. So I see that she prefers to be the lonely kid in the playground, I encourage her to play with the others and she says that she doesn't like them.
She just finished Kindy, and she didn't really made friends there. She hanged out with two kids from her class but that's it. Several times, those kids invited her over, she refused to go, then I asked her if she wanted to have them over, she said no again. I asked her why, her answer was "I don't want them playing with my toys" or "They're going to make a mess" and the so famous "I don't like kids"
Well honey you are a kid yourself (of course I didn't told her that).
I just want to add that she's not rude to the others, she'll just say "No" and that's it. But on the ther hand, she LOVES to be with the adults. She thinks one of SO's associates is her best friend
. She's great with adults and older children. She rather sit down and listen to their conversations than play with kids her age.
My mom is all with the "She's just mature and thinks kids her age are boring, let her be" But it's healthy that she interacts with kids her age or unleast close to it. I was like her too, but not because I wanted but becuase I was an easy target for bullying so I ended up being with my parent's friends most of time.
But with DD is different, she's not bullied. Actually she defends herself very well. She just doesn't care for the rest but just becuase of that I won't call her socially inept.
So, help?
