My dd also had trouble with the social aspect of life...I hooked her up with a "Life Coach" (the school counselor)

It worked wonders for her, as far as giving her the tools she needed. She'll still run into a bit of trouble now and then, but she's channeled her bossyness into leadership skills and solves the problem instead of creating it.

Plus, she's proud that she has her own personal "Life Coach" (she had been into sports). Seeing the counselor and being part of group sessions was a perkl in her mind, not anything to be ashamed of.

I'd get her the " American Girl's guide to best friends"

It's a cute fun picture type cartoon book with quizzes and stuff and all about the "how to" of friends
