[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're going to get a lot of responses about social anxiety and leaving her alone and not pushing things. I'm going to totally disagree with all of that. It's not going to help hr in the long run, and it will in fact hurt her. We all have to sometimes be pushed out of our comfort zone until it is no longer out of our comfort zone. Sometimes that starts young. I had the same issue with my son. We just kept reinforcing it, insisting on it. Eye contact. Respond to people when spoken to. Telling him it doesn't count when he isn't loud enough for others to hear. What was cute at 3 is not acceptable at 6, 12, 16. He's 17 now, and while he is never going to be one to walk up to a stranger to start a conversation, he is polite enough to look people in the eye, respond, be courteous to anyone who initiates a conversation (within reason of course).[/quote] Weird [/quote]
