DD is nearly 4 and has always been shy. She has got a lot better with talking to adults but actively avoids communicating with the children at her pre-school. She has one special friend who comes to play once a week and seems quite relaxed with him but it breaks my heart when I pick her up from pre-school and she's always playing alone. Apparently she joins in with adult led group activities but will not talk to the other children. The other children seem so much confident talking to each other. She's an only child and I'm a SAHM so I worry that somehow I've caused this by the decisions I've made in life. How do I help her without making too much of an issue out of it? My biggest worry is that her shyness will make the transition to school much harder.
