just another thought. children are thinking things often at times they can't verbalize...and it comes out wrong sometimes. they soak everything in from around them, process it and try to communicate it back to see how we will react. have pretend conversations, like "well, you may think that you have uglies, but sometimes that is just how we feel, not how we ARE" and stuff like that. it doesn't have to be an arguement, just teaching them about back and forth communication. and it's okay to feel uglies sometimes anyway.
children are the bomb!

I've got a 5yo girl that has always been very sensative to attention of any kind from strangers. She is a georgous blondie blue eyes, and always gets comments about how pretty she is. This is usually follwed by a comment from her, in her evil voice, 'I'm NOT pretty!'. For a while we had to call hair pretties, hair uglies. She insists that she is a piggie and not a pretty little girl. Any laughing she assumed was directed at her.
Recently she begged and begged to go to dance class. Here I am thinking, oh right, a little one that can't stand any attention being brought upon herself standing in a room made of mirrors! ha! Well...let me tell ya...she is doing so well! She even gave a 'thank you ma'am' after a comment on her prettiness a few days ago.
So my advice, find something your daughter is interested in, dance, gymnastics, soccer...something, and let her shine and see how wonderful she is.

Oh how sweet is that - I can only imagine a field of 4 year olds playing t-ball together! I bet that coach is super organized!!!!
I hope it is short lived for your daughter and for you. Keep us posted!

| I was like that as a child,severely shy and more. Don't worry, children learn different things at different times! Everyone turns out okay. Just be supportive and helpful and remind always that laughter is the best medicine, no matter who's doing it! Laughter is good. Good for you for so much involvement.

I have a very sensitive 3.5 year old too. She gets embarrassed VERY easily and while she won't cry when she is uncomfortable with something, she buries her head in my leg and won't speak to anyone. She doesn't shake things off very easily. When I spoke to the pediatrician about it at her three year well visit, he strongly encouraged me to get her involved in more social activities with other children. He assured me that eventually, she would learn how to cope. We are still in the learning curve ourselves. Let me know if your pediatrician has other possible suggestions to help our family as well!
Hang in there!
