I always knew that any child of mine would need therapy at some stage in their life - I just assumed they would at least make it to school first.
But alack and alas it would appear that our first visit is not too far away.
As you would be aware our eldest Little Miss is not much of a talker and has alwas been very shy. But it has gotten to the point where she is often completely mute when in a social circumstance.
She will from happily playing and chatting / singing / running around and the minute someone outside of the select few say something to her then she will not speak.
It is not just strangers either. She won’t answer aunts / uncles, teachers or carers - hell she won’t even talk to a lot of the other Mum’s in the mothers group whom she has seen once a week for 4 years now!
So it is time to find a specialist a get it looked into - now I just have to hope that once the flood gates open we can stop her talking again when she is an annoying teenager.
Err, I dont want to be presumptuous, but do you really think it’s necessary? After all, it may just be a phase that they (she) are going through…..
Sorry if I am out of line….

Actually my colleague’s son is the same. And she is also thinking of some therapy of some sort….
But then he is 2+…..she hopes school will get him out of his shell. Maybe adults just seem intimidating right now.
Reckon playing with her mates are a-ok?

I’d echo Jlow, Is it really necessary?
Of course you can get a professional’s opinion, but Little Miss is a brilliant girl and happy in many ways, so a little assurance, I think she’ll grow up fine.
My sister was telling me how she too was “anti-social” from pre-school days, and now, in her 30s, is still very picky on how she spends her “free time”. She has a couple of close friends she hangs out with, some old friends she’d happily meet up with on special occasions, and she is happy as she is.
