Hi

My dd who is 10 is exactly the same as Cheryls daughter. If it wasn't

for me she would prefer to always be alone, either playing barbies or

watching tv. She never wants play dates and she never joins in with

other kids playing outside or anywhere for that matter. And it is not

like she has no one to play with, she is just truly content to be

left alone to do her own thing. I am the one with the problem, I want

her socializing more, I don't like to see her alone all the time.

When i see Ally try to interact - Her cousin Grace will come over

who is almost 5. They are 10 months apart. She runs up to her and

gives her a big hug. She says, hi, hi, hi, hi G. She calls her G.

Grace will go to my older daughter, who is 9, and start to play.

Ally will follow along side of them - When they play say, school she

will color with them, when they jump on the bed and mess around in

that way, Ally will join them, but when it comes to imaginative play

Ally just watches and does not understand what to do. She then, gets

discouraged and will want to watch t.v. or do her own thing. So, I

see it as her wanting to play with them, as sometimes she will come

to me and cry, and then go back to them wanting to play the games she

knows how to do. So, what I have started to do is to set up

imaginative play situations with her, say playing barbies, and make

them talk to each other. You know, holding each one up and

pretending they are conversing. Now, she takes one of the barbies

and does the same with me. She talks jibberish during this time, but

I think she is getting the idea. Hopefully, soon she will use her

real words more during this play. Love
