[quote=Anonymous]My oldest was very reticent and slow to warm up (still is introverted and not confident in social situations). One thing that always helped was for her to be one of the first kids to be in a room. She could handle it better if kids came in and it got noisy after she was in the room, but it was more frightening to her if she came into a room that was already loud and noisy. You may not be able to control this (depending on your mornign routine), but if you are able to walk your child to the classroom right when kids are allowed in or if you can see that she is early enough to be among the first in the line, it might help. I know kids who were painfully shy who did just fine in public school. I don't think that is a reason to spend $20-30K per year on private. [/quote]
