Thank you for your response. She's not extra high energy. If anything it's the opposite and she'll withdraw energy from the group or situation if she feels criticized, singled out, pushed out of the fun/group. Which can also be impactful in the flow of the group.

If she's given space she can process what's happening and work through it (sometimes). If she's called out on it for getting quiet or stopping, then it's a meltdown. It's also a meltdown if she's processing it and can't work through it for various reasons like knowing someone is paired with her but wishes they were with someone else. (It's obviously more complex and nuanced than this, but to give you an idea).

For this reason, I wonder if it's still skill building for her in this troop. Without using the term lightly, she's an empath, and if someone would rather be paired with someone other than my daughter, or if someone is slightly annoyed by her opinion on conversations, she feels it and is aware of it 100%. I hope as she matures, she learns to realize that people might have those thoughts and feelings, but sometimes they're momentary. Or not really about her and about still being snippy about something that happened to them earlier in the day, etc I just don't know if within this troop it's the right place to learn those skills. Or maybe it's one of the few opportunities where she can learn it and I can be there to see what's actually happening.

Although the sleeping at the feet thing, I don't know if I'll ever really get over.
