[quote=Anonymous]My almost 2 yo hasn't met all her grandparents yet. I think you're overthinking this. Both my girls are slow to warm up, but you'll be there for 3 weeks - that should be plenty of time for a toddler and preschooler to get comfortable. If your ILs pressure the kids to do things that are uncomfortable for them, ie - "perform" whatever that means, then handle it in the moment - "Oh, Susie's not really a performer. Let's play a game instead" and then take out something easy that everyone can do. The only issue may be if they are critical - I see you say that they like the kid to be "brag-able" but that often means comparing the kids to each other. If that kind of talk happens, maybe change the subject if you can or just hop up and rush the kid into another room for something more fun. [/quote]
