My 3 year old daughter has always been shy. She never talks to new people and takes a while to make friends. I understand that about her and don't force her into a new environment.
I thought she will grow out of it eventually if she meets the same ppl everyday and so put her in playschool/daycare for 3 hours everyday. Its been 6 months but she still wont talk to anyone in school. I can tell she enjoys school, because she comes back home and talks to me about her friends and teachers. She even names her dolls with her friends names and play make believe at home. But at school she hasn't spoken out.
Now her teacher has told me that she seems distracted in class and doesn't respond to her. She is not interested in crayons/ writing or group activiteis. Instead she only watches the other kids do it.
I have been talking to her everyday about how she should wish goodmorning in class and we even pratice what she should say when she wants water or needs to go to the restroom. She has stubbornly answered me that she will not talk to her teacher. What do I do? How do I help her open up.
Our mother tongue is not English but we speak both languages at home and I can tell she understands English. Its not because she doesn't understand the teacher.
She's just 3 and I dont understand her already . What do I do?
