Hi
I have posted numerous times on here before about my dd - briefly she is very shy, doesnt join in at groups, parties, doesnt talk to any of the other children in her pre-school class (she's been there for 18 months) blah blah.
I am tearing my hair out atm.
I just feel she is not like any other child i know.
She scowls at her friends when they ask her to play, sits on her own at groups and sulks, permenantly has her thumb in her mouth so she doesnt have to talk to anyone. Its driving me insane.
Yeah, i know she is who she is and i cannot change her. BUT surely there is something i can do to make her more socially "polite".
I try to make conversations with other mums as i dont have many friends, but as soon as they children start to play, dd becomes very aloof and sometimes even rude and obviously the other mums then have to explain to their children that dd doesnt mean to be unfriendly blah blah. I find it very awkward.
Anyway, any advice please? She starts school this year and i want to deal with it before then if possible.
