[quote=Anonymous]My DD sounds the same (shy with adults), however she is craving more independence and regularly asks for it. So, Im doing the stuff you are: having her order from the menu at restaurants, go into bathrooms by herself, run into starbucks to buy my coffee. She's forever been worried about doing these sort of things, but the last 6 months she's changed and has wanted more of these opportunities. I think she sees other kids who are independent and wants to be as well! Also, giving her more interesting TV shows/movies to watch (old schools 80s/90s rather than disney or animated movies). Long play dates where i don't pick up for 4-5 hours. She doesn't do many chores but I give her an allowance and for that she must keep her room & the play room clean and clear her dishes. [/quote]
