My daughter

Don't worry about it. I thought that isn't problem for her, I believed she shall be active when she faced to further crowd after a little while.

Make more chances to exercise, she will be not shy when she is confident. Give her more encourage to atten more interested activities. Just like us, we can do better when someone praise us.

There's no need to change that. It's good for girls to be shy sometimes. It's sweet and not a problem at all. Just let her be around people and she will get used to them as time goes by..

In todays world a child being shy can be considered a good thing. We had the opposite problem with my granddaughter. She is very outgoing and around age 3 she started walking up to people, taking their hand and introducing herself. She would follow other childeren around and want to go with them. NOt shy at all. We were always afraid someone would steal her or take advantage of her. She even got out of the house once and went across to the park by herself. We were terrified someone had taken her before we found her. My sister and youngest daughter were more like your daughter. Give her time, she will adjust to strangers. Talk with her when a stranger speaks to her and tell her it is ok to reply when she is with you. Be friendly to a stranger that says something like "What a pretty little girl" and thank the person for the compliment. SHe will get the idea. Enjoy her while she is young, shy and clingy; they grow up so fast.
