Parents of Preschoolers  Discussion Forum

Hi all,


Im really starting to worry about my 2 and a half year old daughter. Shes very shy. Shes shy to the point where she' ll shut down if someone speaks to her and look completely blank and ignore them. It worries me as i have been shy and I know how hard it is and she' s starting her formal schooling next year. Its getting a point where I dont know what else to do to help her. Should I put her in a preschool or something?
Shes like this with strangers and with people she knows, even with relatives. HELP NAINA replied. Some kids are just like that, just in the same way that some adults are like that. I think the technical term is ' sensitive' .

I had a similar kind of problem with my son. My son found it very difficult to interact with more than one kid at once and he got very stressed. It may just be a personality trait.

But what i would suggest is you is enroll him to a preschool where she has no other option but to interact. That is what i did when my son faced this problem. I enrolled him to Eurokids International preschool where he became social and started to interact with other kids. I hope this helps you too. Because i know how a mother feels. good luck!
