Communicating with Ah Kong
My girl loves my father. Although she gets extremely shy and now having trouble to greet, talk to other people (for instant my friends, her teachers and now even her ex-nanny), she can be very easy going with my father. Although they hardly sees each other, QQ can easily initiate conversation with her Ah Kong. She even played DVD for him, explain to him the storyline of the movie and such without any trouble at all when we went back to Melaka during the weekend. But with the rest, she just hide behind me and look away whenever anyone try to talk to her.
I wonder what’s wrong with her. She was like this too when younger, and her teacher said probably she wasn’t ready and is the shy type. But now that she is 5, I feel a bit uneasy when she does not respond to other people. Hubby and I tried to talk to her many times, and yet result is the same when she stand in front other people. My father even asked her, but she just not willing to tell us why.
I reckon she must be shy, but how long do I still have to wait so that she can behave just like other kids again. Shall do computer memory upgrade so my girl can start chat and conferencing to overcome her shyness starting from home.
i think shes still not ready… samuel will answer or greet ppl if we ask him to but very soft, very very soft more like whisper type, people can hardly hear him
give her some times, maybe she is still not ready? i think kids will feel worst if there are pressure from parents / teachers. what about having small playgroup to help QiQi to open up? maybe to have 1 or 2 friends with kids about QiQi age to come over to the house and play? you can then watch and observe….but don’t pressure her to join….give her a lots of encouragement & hugs, k.
selective with ppl she talks to. Same with jayden.
i guess you will still have to be more patience with QQ. i believe as she grows and exposed to more and more ppl, she will outgrow her shyness…. meantime, u just have to accept it as it is, and don’t put too much pressure on her.
aiya don’t worry lah, even faythe that’s always the chitty chatter, she will hide behind me also at times
does she still go to the playgroup u mentinoed before? maybe more exposure…
anyway dont worry much. everyone has their own progress… looking at myself…sometimes i m loud, sometimes i just stand at the corner n dont social also..
She just need more time to get acquainted with unfamiliar faces before being friendly with them.
maybe she is just shy
just a passing phase. as long as you don’t force her or put pressure on her, she will open up one day but some kids are more reserved than others and it’s perfectly ok..
