[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: Poster 17:32, if you don't mind my asking, were you pretty sure of this when you enrolled her in private? The reason I ask is that dc is shy, but once she feels comfortable, she makes a lot of friends, is very sociable. I'm having a hard time gauging whether she will adapt well eventually to a large, public environment (would probably take a few months at least), or whether she becomes comfortable and is very sociable now because she is in a small environment (preschool), i.e., she would just not do well at all in public. Do you ever know this beforehand? Or do you just have to try and find out for yourself? thanks![/quote]

Np, but I wanted to share how my kids surprised me. Both started in public, one painfully shy and one the polar opposite. My very shy dd blossomed in public and has a strong group of wonderful friends that I can't pry her away from for private. My outgoing ds who has never met a stranger is the one who actually needed the smaller social scene to develop meaningful friendships. I guess he was a friend to all, but didn't focus enough on any one relationship because he was trying to keep up with everybody. I never would have guessed that is how it would have ended up.
