My 7 year old daughter is very shy. She has always had difficulty making new friends, and sometimes gets picked on by others.
She goes to classes in ballet, modern and jazz, and she has just got into the competition team. She loves dancing, but is the youngest in the classes, as she is a few grades ahead of where she should be at her age. She loves the dancing, but finds it hard because no one talks to her. Everyone else is older, and knows each other, but she doesn't know anyone there. The fact that she is shy is also really holding her back. She just gets ignored.
I know what it is like to be shy, as I was just the same at school. I know how shyness affected me, and I wish I could go back and do it again with confidence this time. Shyness can be really crippling, and I can see it happening to my daughter. She is a sweet natured, loving girl who never has a bad word to say about anyone. She's pretty, smart and talented. Can anyone suggest anything?
