My dd is six and very shy. She has a so-called best friend who is very dominant and is nice to her one minute but telling her to go away the next. I wish dd would give her up and play with someone nicer but she seems to cling to this one girl. We take her to activities where she mixes with other children and we've done the playdate thing but the positive effects of these seem to only last a little while. So many of the other girls seem so confident in themselves- what are their parents doing that we aren't? Or is it just my daughter's personality? Should I just stop worrying and let her get on with it? Advice would be much appreciated.
