[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is she? Is she open to the idea? I think in general, exposure to social/performance situations can help shy kids. However, you don't want it to be too overwhelming to start. I have a shy 7yo, and while we do a lot of things to build her confidence in terms of social/extracurricular activities, I might start with a week if she were open to it, and only a camp where the kids aren't already like little professionals.[/quote] +1 Or maybe enroll her in a once a week acting class and see how it goes (we just put my kid who has a fear of performing in a low-key acting class, and he's enjoying it, but it's a tiny class and many of the kids are younger than him, so he doesn't feel badly about his abilities).
