[quote=Anonymous]I think you're doing the right thing for her age and her temperament. No one expects 6 year olds to be effortlessly polite and charming, and people give shy kids a lot of leeway. I would not reprimand her if she's not answering because she's nervous (different if it's a bratty mood and not shyness). But I would be effusive in my praise when she made an attempt or answered without too much prompting. The more she does it the less nerve-wracking it will be. This comes with time, but I think getting punished for not mastering the skill yet would make her more nervous around strange adults and exacerbate the problem.[/quote]
