 My daughter was once an outgoing little toddler - it didnt take her long to jump in with other kids to play. She is now 5 and is really shy to approach an unfamiliar child. She will ask me to ask the other child if she can play with them. Once the contact is made, she is fine and has a great time. She feels that she needs to ask another chilf if she can play - hence where I think the problem originated from. She had alot of knockbacks in the past - I thinks some kids just said 'no' because they were given the option, but know she will just play on her own if there is no-one else to help her approach another child. Any suggestions?

 wow this hit the spot. my step daughter is 6 and is very entertaining with our family in our house, but as soon as we are at the park or around other children she sticks to us like glue. its hard to understand,both her father and i were social butterflys when we were her age. now a days she gets so upset that she sobs she doesnt want to play. her birth mother had always told people that she is shy, so i think its a little of both.

 thanks for the advice its a great help to go through ur postings. however, i would like to point out one fact that the schools in india are generally speaking not so very sensitive to the issues of children so that the shy kids are usually left to fend for themselves in a crowd of 50 students. and if parents do pinpoint all this, they are brushed aside with "oh u are worrying too much. we will take care of ur child. how are we supposed to cope with this?
