[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the posters that say OP's daughter is just shy. DCUMers as a group overreact to any sign of imperfection and recommend professional help and a diagnosis for pretty much everything. It might be worth mentioning to the pediatrician at the next visit, but that's about it. Some kids are just shy, some kids work hard for Bs even though they don't have a learning disability, some people are clumsy and don't have gross motor skills deficits, etc. It's almost as if individual differences aren't allowed and everyone's child must either be perfect or have a diagnosis to explain the lack of perfection. [/quote] Sure, she's shy. Speech therapy focused on social issues can still help. Heck, all kids could benefit from it. [/quote]
