I'm the mother of GGG triplets that are 14 years old. My middle daughter has some special needs and seems to be the "odd one out" most of the time. She attends a different school and is not as social as my other girls. Next year she will join her sisters in highschool and I'm nervous about how things will go. It's almost like the other two are best of friends and she's always feeling left out. Any advice or suggestions on how to make her feel more "part of the crowd".

have her join clubs so she can make friends. Clubs like 4H or Girl Scouts will get her "in" so much faster. What about the music program? That would be good too, if she's interested.

Sorry I don't have any advice for you but I wanted to reply because I worry about this happening with my girls down the road. One of my trio has Down Syndrome and one of my biggest fears is her feeling left out. They are just babies, but even now when the other 2 are rolling and becoming more curious about their environment and each other, Steph is usually doing her own thing. I know she is just not at the same place as they are developmentally, although I think she is doing great for her. When they do interact with her she does get really happy and excited and it's great to see.


Up to this point how has it been for your girls? Has it always been this way or was there a time when the 3 of them would play and hang out toghether.? At 14 I think all girls probably go through a time where they want to be doing their own thing and be with their peers that they have things in common with. Hopefully that is the case. With that being said I'm sure it doesn't make it any easier for you or your daughter.

I'm sorry I can't offer more advice. I guess I would suggest (if you don't already) maybe try a family night where you all can hang out together and play games or watch movies or something? Just a thought.
