It’s better to have a child that is reserved, and not talking to every stranger. In my opinion anyway! My two kids are very cautious of strangers, which I’d prefer!
@Emily fair, I’ll probably be grateful of it when she’s older but right now it feels like she’s the anti social baby
I’m in exactly same situation, my girl is the same age also. Some people just say hi to her and she cries or just stares at them 😩
We went to soft play the other day, and my little girl (2yrs old) wouldn’t walk past another parent with their little one but with a little reassurance she did, and she was fine. Sometimes they just need the reassurance but it’s ok if they’re reserved. My eldest used to be really shy, but he’s now in school and has got a really good group of friends, he’s still shy with strangers but that’s fine x
@Leilani 100% my girl just gives a death stare haha
My daughter’s always been chatty, outgoing and confident. I think it’s because we’ve always talked to her from birth and we’re confident parents. She’s 6 now and always been the smallest but definitely the loudest. We do positive affirmations as well.
Mirror behaviour you want her to do. She does most of learning from you and dad. If you want her to be chatty, smiley and wavey, you need to show her to be like that. When my son is in the trolley in the supermarket, I smile and chat to others and always ask him to wave hello and goodbye xx
