@go ngyrex, do you think if I got her around other smarter kids she'd be more comfortable . Because her teacher tells me she just sits during recess and pe

@teenmomoftwo, Haha socializing isn't something I'd really worry about with her honestly. She probably is happier with a book than a playground. :)

@gingyrex, oh yea she's in kindergarten but next year they want her to skip first grade and go to second grade because she tested out of first grade .

Oh, if she is advanced that explains it! Smarter kids tend to be quieter, content with themselves. I barely spoke until 3rd or 4th grade, and then I became really social. Just give her time. ^.^

@gingyrex, yea ill do that but no she's in gifted and talented program at her school she just doesn't talk

Some kids just live in their own heads at first. As long as she doesn't fall behind in class or negatively react to other kids I wouldn't worry too much. Try asking her about her other kids, maybe there is one she really likes. I'd set up a playdate with that child and eventually branch out. But if she doesn't show any interest I wouldn't force it.

I'm the same way and my son wasn't until he was almost 6, now (at 7) he's extremely social so hopefully it's something she'll just grow out of too

@bianca_rose, yea I'll try that . I just don't like that she's not social because I'm literally the most social person so is her dad and she's so quiet which is weird

Or maybe start having one on one play dates with other children?

I don't know if you can make someone social. Maybe just keep trying with the sports/activities and eventually she'll come around?

@mrose28 I've tried that but she just is very in her own world . When she was 2 I thought maybe she was autistic but the doctors said no she's just a very quiet child but I don't know what to do to make her social

my kids school counselor suggested to put them in extra curriculum activities like soccer , karate, gymnastics, etc. and it helped a lot :]
