She is very shy and has stage fright. She can easily perform well in family gatherings but refuses to perform in front of audience of strangers. We do not want to push her more on this but want to work gradually on this.

It is possible.
I was very afraid to anything in front of anyone other than my friends and family, but when I got into high school we had to do a project every week that involved getting up in front of the class and talking. At first I hated it, but now, after getting up in front of the class and talking every week, I don't worry about it anymore. I don't know what I was afraid of, nobody laughed, I didn't studder, or do anything embarrassing. So I really had nothing to worry about.
So, you can wait until she gets to highscool, and she will probably grow out of it. I am still very shy, but I don't mind speaking in front of the class. So just ask your daughter what she is afraid of. Ask her if she is worried about people laughing at her, or if she is afraid to do something embarrassing, if she says no, then tell her she has nothing to worry about.
I really hope this helped because it is coming from someone who went through the exact same thing.

Let her have friends over frequently. Also, get her inroled in soccer, dance, singing lessons or something else that she can do with other children. Performing in plays is a terrific way for children to build self confidence, so mabey give it another try, because she might end up loving it. Also, you might want to talk to her teacher for more advice.
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!

The number one fear in adults is stage fright. Myquestion to you is why does your child need to perform? If you truly have a need for your child to do this the best thing for her is to have her in a choir or ballet program where she is not alone.

The first best thing to do would be to enroll her into team sports. Team sports develop confidence, teamwork and good social skills as you can meet new people and get to learn how to communicate effectively. She may also develop the role of a leader- team captain or vice if she develops in her leadership skills and sporting skills.

SHE HAS TO GET USED TO IT AND BE MORE SOCIAL. IT'S GOOD THAT U DON'T PUSH HER- THAT WON'T HELP. IT CAN ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE. TALK TO HER WHETHER SHE WANTS TO TAKE SOME COURSES- LIKE DRAMA, LITERATURE, EVEN SOME SPORT OR MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. IT WILL BE GOOD FOR HER TO CHANGE THE INVIRONMENT SHE'S USED TO- HOME AND SCHOOL.
ALSO U CAN TELL HER HOW GOOD SHE IS IN THE THINGS LIKES TO DO. TELL HER HOW PROUD OF HER U R. HOW THE PERFORMING WAS NICE AND U WOULD LOVE IT EVEN IF SHE WASN'T UR DAUGHTER.

Sounds like she needs to take a Public Speech class of some kind.
Also, if she gets the opportunity to do some announcing at school functions like Awards night or announcing the players at a home game----it will get her over it quickly.....POSITIVE encouragement and POSITIVE feedback.

Put her in some personality development classes and dance classes where she will intreract with many different people. I am sure it will definitely build her confidence. Do not push her anymore as it will help out.
