Im worried that if I don't get my 2 yr old girl into a playgroup/preschool that she may end up shy and not very outgoing. Should I be concerned? (There are almost no kids her age in my circle of friends, other than one nieghbor who also has a 2yr old girl, for my 2yr old to play/interact with.)

she will be fine. shes too young to worry about this. most kids at this age will play alone with others around. worry about this in 14 years when shes sits at home all alone and never has friends over she has plenty of time let her be pampered and a loner if she wants shes still a bit of a baby

at 2 they are just getting ready to be ready to socialize so you are OK. It would be helpful if you could take her to the daycare for a few hours a day or find someother way to let her be around children her age. When she is potty trained with some reliability it will be a very good idea to put her in preschool and that will help her to develope social skills before she goes to first grade where learning should be the focus.
At 2 most children do not pay too much attention to other children but she is about to make that change, you be ready to help her out.

i don't think so. there is a big difference between preferring to be alone and being shy. she may just not have LOTS of friends at school or become Miss Popularity, but that doesn't mean she won't make any friends at all! in fact those that you tend to stay reserved are closer to the friends that they do have, even if they aren't a great many of them. i do not see anything wrong with this, and I think you are worrying about things too much right now. wait until kindergarten, and then you can freak out over everything she does and doesn't do then ;)

She will be fine. Fear not. If you can place her in a playgroup then do it but there is nothing wrong with things as they are. My children make friends when they go somewhere evern church they'll start playing with other children. And being shy isnt the worse thing in the world

2 yr olds are not social creatures yet, they are just becoming self aware. Children will not truly play together for another yr or so. There is a show called Baby Human that you should watch, it explains the development of babies through out life..very interesting

I would start right around 2. 2 is the best learning stage. If she trys to hop of try giving her rewards for using the potty. Lik ever time she uses it correctly she gets a dime and then at the end of the month u can take her shopping and she can pick out her own little special toy.Good Luck!

She will be fine. At 2 they still want YOU to be their playmate. It's really unpleasant trying to force 2 year olds to play together ... it's still normal for them to believe everything its "MINE," and they end up fighting and we try to force something on them that they're not ready for!

Your daughter will be fine as long as mommy and/or daddy love her with all their heart and raise her the best they can. Instilling in her right from wrong.

You should honestly just stop worrying about that. It isn't about how many friends or socialzation, it's about what she is. She will be the one who chooses her personality, not you/
