Hoping someone here can offer me wise words on how to help my DD in the class. Or maybe just tell me to relax!
Background- DD is 5 and in p1 (we're in Scotland) she is an October birthday which makes her one of the youngest in her class. We are really pleased that she is enjoying school and has settled in well. However her teacher has mentioned that DD is very passive in the class, and won't answer questions. DD is very chatty normally, and quite confident generally but she seems less confident in class situations - especially PE (although her teacher says she is doing well).
I have an older DS who is very academic and sporty so was always very involved in class discussions etc. therefore I never had this with him and I'm just not sure what to do to help DD feel happier about participating.
Part of me thinks she is young, and P1 is about getting used to school. Should I just relax about it and assume she will join in more as she gets older? I don't really want to make her feel like there is a problem.
