I have always thought my Dd was pretty sociable, always makes friends at the park, soft play etc. Since she stated at a new school last August she has not really made any friends.
Recently she told me she never asks children to play they have to ask her, it is school holidays where we live and there were children playing out, eventually after trying to get her to ask to make the first move I asked the children if she could play with them, she said hello and Introduced herself and then hid behind me and would not make an effort.
Both my husband are a little shy but I don't think I was ever as shy is she is being now. We do not live in the UK and although she speaks Dutch fluently I wonder if the language difference is making it worse.
I have no idea how to help her, any ideas.
