It's a funny title but bear with me as I think this gets to something that can cause real heartache among youth and children's workers up and down the country.

Picture the scene - in your small youth group dominated by boys, one girl comes week by week but you know she's not loving being part of it. And then to your utter joy a new family arrives who have a daughter the same age! Problem over, right?

Well then to your utter disbelief they don't seem to get on and even when they both come to youth group, they don't really engage with each other.
