Does anyone have any advice on helping a shy child come out of their shell?

Its my oldest daughters first year of kindergarten and she didnt go to preschool. shes around her sister and i most of the time and she plays fine with the neighbors kids. its mainly just at school.Does anyone have any advice on helping a shy child come out of their shell?
You should probably get a friend or someone related to you to bring their kids over so your daughter can get used to meeting new people.





Tell her to go talk to people at school and make some friends.





Don't let your daughter become shy, I wasn't shy until 7th grade, and I always regret that because life is so lonely when you're shy.





Give your daughter situations where she can communicate so she doesn't face this same problem, it's a life-benefitting quality.Does anyone have any advice on helping a shy child come out of their shell?
give her time. A good teacher will help encourage her to come out of her shell
Give her sometime to get use to school. School can be a big scary enviroment for kids. Talk to her and reassure her that everything will be just fine, and be patient!
There's not a whole lot you can do. She'll come out of her shell when she feels like it. Take her to all of the school functions, enroll her in a sport, like soccer, dance, cheer, gymnastics, etc so she will meet more children her age, and socialize with them too=) Once she's comfortable with her new teacher, and classmate, she will start to be more assertive at school!





Good luck!
Just give it time my lil bro was like that in tell he got use to it and then he opened up and now he is very outgoing.
I have a shy 8 year old daughter. She has come out of her shell a lot this year. Give your child some time and with the help of her friends she will come out of her shell. I would say to keep her in social activities and play dates. that will help.
My son is very shy. I just let him do his own thing, give him ample opportunity to be with others and he eventually comes around. Unless its preventing her from doing things don't worry about it too much. She will make friends, will interact. Shy kids just take longer to get comfortable. Relaxing will also help b/c she does know that you are worried about so she will be too.
