My daughter was very shy, but I never interfered or pushed her to talk to anyone.<br> I was active at her play school, so my friends kids gradually became her friends.<br> At big school, she eventually learnt to make friends. Now she has building friends, bus friends, school friends!<br> I believe just a gentle nudge or creating opportunity for kids to mix with other kids is enough. I <u>wouldn't</u> suggest pushing kids to make friends...let it happen naturally.

My toddler was very friendly...used to make friends on her own . The best policy is here is..just stand at a distance and keep a watch..dont interfere ...they take their time and start .

Thanks for the tag Priya! My daughter is 14 months old and she is neither shy nor outspoken. She takes 2 to 4 days time to gel with anybody new. After that she feels comfortable to play with other kids. But in the first meeting she <u>shows</u> anxiety and unwillingness to gel with other kids. So I take her among them regularly for 2 3 days then she starts playing with them&#128516;
