[quote=Anonymous]I have a shyer four year old. Our rule is she must greet an adult who greets her, in a verbal or nonverbal way. So, she can easily say hi/good morning/bye or if not comfortable she can wave, do a fist bump, or give a smile. When she refused to respond to someone, I used to explain it away by saying “oh, she’s shy!” until DD picked up on that and began using the statement “I didn’t say hi because I’m shy” or “Can’t say thank you, I’m shy!” I don’t want her having that label and def not using it as an excuse to get out of being polite. So now she does a high five or smile if she “can’t” reply politely. It’s still teaching respect, manners, and communication skills, which is the goal. [/quote]
