You may wonder if your child is normal if they are shy and don't engage right away. There are some kids who are very comfortable in new situations but many children need time to warm up to their environment and you can't force them or rush them.
Imagine going to a party where you don't know anyone. How do you feel? What do you need to do to get comfortable? Your child is the same way however they may need Mom or Dad by their side as they warm up to their new environment.
My daughter is shy. She started a princess camp yesterday and my husband had to stay with her for awhile before she got comfortable. Today I dropped her off and she didn't need mommy to stay. She felt secure and confident and this is our goal as parents. Give them time, reassure them, and love them and your shy child will be OK! :)
Have any other questions about shy children or another concern about your child, please post it here and I'll answer them!
