2.5 year old major social anxiety.
I was wondering if anyone is going through the same or had any tips or advice.
My daughter has never been great with socialising with new people, but she would still get on with what we needed to do as long as I was close by. Recently she’s been terrible. To the point where she’s just screaming and crying with anyone who talks to her or me. She’s even doing it to some family members who she sees a lot! It’s just so hard to do anything with her at the moment whilst she’s like this. She doesn’t go to nursery but will be starting next year and I’m dreading it already because of how she is :(

My daughter is completely the opposite she is also 2,5 years old but is suspected autistic recently every time she sees a stranger she says “hi friend what’s your name , my name is… (her name) like literally with every person on the street 😂 I think if you keep getting out in public or go to play groups it will go by time remember it’s still a new life for them and they are learning a lot exciting and overwhelming things at the same time , surely it will go away give it some time. You are doing great momma.
Wanted to let you know you're not alone, my little girl is introverted and doesn't like socialising for the most part especially with new people. I know for her it's part of her personality, I wonder if your little one may be more introverted? Practice might help, also allowing her time to settle in when you go somewhere new, letting her people watch and observe before getting involved - things you may already be doing
I mentioned this to my health visitor, and she advised that caution with new people is actually a positive thing in one respect. It means they aren't being overly trusting. I found that reassuring
Thank you so much ladies 💖
I have exactly the same with my daughter, she is the funniest biggest personality so sassy she makes me laugh all day long but no one outside of my immediate family gets to see that.... it's so sad and brings me down, but I am aware that she just needs time to adapt to people never force her, just allow her time to suss people out, and feel comfortable with people, my little one has just started nursery and rather than the drop and go I have been doing the extensive leave because she needs me there to reassure her and today she was better, so don't worry nursery will help and if it's a year from now then she will have changed alot by then so don't worry!
Thank you so much 💖 my daughter sounds exactly the same!
This funny, bright, sassy little thing but some people would never know 🤦🏻♀️😂
