I was just as shy as your daughter....
I suggest taking her out to public places more often. Introduce her to new kids and help her learn how to interact with new people. I wish my mom had done that with me!!

I am an introvert and until adulthood I was painfully shy. I'm not entirely sure there's anything you can do to pull her out of it. However, I have a hobby and it has always helped me connect with others. I adore books and decided to become an author when I was in the 4th grade. That was the beginning of coming out of my shell. The more involved I got into writing programs in school the better I was. My very best friends also loved to read so we had tons in common. This specific thing may not be the answer for her but, something similar may work wonders. I never completely got over my shyness, however. It is still extremely hard for me to communicate with people I don't know ( in person, anyway. lol). Just try to be there for her and don't push her into trying to be the life of the party. She'll begin to grow out of it as she gets older. Hope this helps a little. Good Luck.

I was a shy girl too.. I am a teacher now and when I see kids like that I always act lighthearted- I dance and sing and just be free. It shows the kids that life doesn't have to be taken seriously. The shy kids started to come out and laugh and start to mingle.. It works for me every year. But I always act like this in the classroom. I'm a female Robin Williams!! lol
Good luck. Oh and when I walk by other peoples classrooms I always say hi or wave.. The kids picked up on this and they do it too to everyone. Just talk and strike up conversations or make comments to people.. the kids will see and do. :)

I married a shy woman with 3 outstanding, wonderful, beautiful, caring, sensitive, remarkable, artistic and shy (2 of them) daughters. They are 19, 16 and 10 and I have known them for almost 6 years. The shy ones ar the two younger ones.
I just try to introduce them to new things and people and not put pressure on them. Our middle daughter is shy when she first meets people but eventually warms up. With our 10 year old I try to let her pick her friends and don't pressure her.
You could try to schedule play dates with some of her classmates. I would select different playmates, and keep the visits under two hours. I think it would be good to have the visits at your house or some place your daughter feels comfortable.
You may also want to enroll her in an after school art class. A sports team may also be good. Just get her involved with other kids

I COMPLETELY relate to this. I was the shyest child in the world and wouldn't speak at school. i always loved the Sound of Music and wanted to audition for the play. I was so scared to audition but was pushed to get up on stage. Everyone was so surprised that the shyest little girl actually got the role! Ever since, I have come out of my shell. Whether it is a soccer team or a play, let her come out of her shell by doing something she likes.

Put her in a club or group that sparks an interest in her and she can meet kids in a common interest. Does she like sports or dance? Brownies is also a fun place for little girls to go to. Talk to her about her interests and what she would like to do after school or on weekends. The list in endless and hopefully it will bring her out of her shell.

Perhaps getting her into sports of some sort. Or a theater group or martial arts, dance, gymnastics. Something that she will do with others her age as a group.
Good luck.

You get together with parents of some of the girls her age in her class....find a way to have them get together. Having a party with a few of them is a good way....she will get more comfortable with them in her own environment. You can help this along with games they play together, make cookies, etc...and soon she will forget to be shy.
Instead of asking her...say "today we are going to the zoo with.....a friend and her Mom....etc. Once she gets going she will be fine....and you can do it smootly and still be there so she won't feel uncomfortable. You can also do the same kind of thing at your home, at church, etc.

Do you have any nieces? If you do, she needs to be around some older kids and get a feel for socializing. My 8yr. old is shy also, but she has an older (outspoken) sister that broke her, and she also has a aunt and ncle around her age. If there is anybody around that she can relate to, she needs that exposure.
