You might want to ask her to explain as much as she possibly can, find out from teachers how she is relating to her peers, and then see what the barriers are that are standing in her way. Is it shyness? Discomfort with the other kids? Boredom? Or does she just want to relax and play after school? Ideally, enrichment should be occurring IN school as well, not just after school. Hopefully you can do more investigative work to see what is going on. Good luck.<br />GailGail Post, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482577821092891593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702344196398061245.post-88954399454615840212013-12-13T13:48:26.558-05:002013-12-13T13:48:26.558-05:00Hi, my gifted 7 year-old has many opportunities at...Hi, my gifted 7 year-old has many opportunities at our private Catholic school for enrichment after school, but says she is not interested in "putting in any more effort than she has to to be social." Any advice? She is our only child.
