Hi there. My five year old DD is very shy and hardly speaks at all in class and in social situations with people she does not know. However, we see another side to her that is loud, spirited, fun, (and ocassionally very argumentative!) Although she is generally liked and has made friends with a few children it breaks our hearts that others can't really get to know her character and we worry that she will not thrive at school if she does not find her voice.
School has had her assessed by a psychologist and we await advice from SENCo.
Has anyone else had experience of helping their child overcome extreme shyness? I would be really grateful for any advice.
