Well, it didn't change her and give her confidence overnight and she's still working on it, but it did keep her off the streets.
You didn't ask about my sneaky method, but I'll tell you anyway.
First you get her interested in *any* after school activity that involves a bunch of kids. Next you buy a minivan.
Before long you'll be driving a whole group of them to this activity. So, to be nice you let them choose the radio station and change it so all the music comes out of the back speakers.
End result: They have to talk loud to be heard over the music, but they somehow think you can't hear them. Don't join the conversation - ignorance is part of the strategy.
You'll hear enough to know *everything* they are up to.
