My beautiful dd is a happy, cheeky and relatively confident girl when with women or a group she knows well. However add a strange man into the mix and all hell breaks loose. She cries and hides behind/nuzzles into me or her gran. She usually stops crying after a little bit but if she looks up and a strange man makes eye contact or speaks to her she kicks off again.
We've been invited to a christening in May and I want to be able to take my beautiful girl with me. Any tips on how I can get her to not be so shy and be the happy smiling baby she is with women?
