hi to all im new to this, but wondering if any of you can give me alittle advice???

the thing is i have a 6 year old girl, and when people talk to her she just looks at them, and will not talk back to them, ive sat her down and tried to explain she cant do that to people, even to close family some times tryin to get her say goodbye is a really effort, the thing is she is such a lovely girl, she just act like a 6 year but this problem i just cant seem to get her understand, can anyone give me advice as it is makin me crazy????

Aw! Champas she is just a little girl, and i expect shy. i have three of my own and i promise you its nothing to worry about. remember how big everything looks to a little girl especially grown up's. They grow and change all the time, this is just a wee phase, she will grow out of. Dont push her,she'll make up her own little mind.

My son is quiet too, will talk to family but whispers hello to people he knows when we are out, I tell him to speak louder etc then try to leave it, never does any good to go on and on about something like this.

If it's strangers she won't talk to I would just apologise saying you have told her not to talk to strangers.

It's always worth trying not to make a fuss and see what happens, my youngest won't kiss grandma goodbye despite anything we say but the minute she's in the car he wants to kiss her.

My daughter was the same, she always kept herself to herself. When ever we went out on family gatherings or out in general an someone tried to talk to her she would just look through them. It was rather embarassing and I would find myself getting angry with her. She still can be a bit quiet but now she is 18 she seems to have found she does have a mouth in her head when she is around her friends. Sometimes even now when I argue with her she just blanks me. It is difficult at times but I find I have to give her space in her own little world. I hope things get better.

Champas she's probably just shy. Don't make her do anything she doesn't feel comfortable doing at her age. She'll probably grow out of it.
