PAULA PARMENTER

I also have an only child, a daughter who is almost 13. When she was
younger she could make "friends" in the strangest places. Maybe they were
only "friends" for an hour, but she interacted with these other children
and felt that (to her anyway) they were her friends. Now that she is
older, she has lots of internet "friends", she volunteers with friends
and she has friends in her Teen Tracks and Young Marines programs. Also
she has lots of friends at our local library (she is on the Teen
Council). We just joined some unschooling lists and are hoping to meet
some AZ familys at various "park days". Still finding and interacting
with other kids is an issue, because she feels that she never has enough
friends.
