| As your child grows and matures she may very well become more assertive.

Thanks for the link buffedstuff... very interesting and helpful :)
Kelly - yes she is in preschool and I'm in the process of enrolling her into her first dance class this september. I have to say that I too have seen small changes in the last little while, but I think it will be her personality to be just quiet and gentle... really I shouldn't complain those are nice traits to have :)
(I can't get the emoticons to open up!!!! grrrrr this is frustrating)

Hi Deb,
I also have a three year old (4 next week) and a 2.5 year old. My oldest, Sydney, is also very much of a people pleaser but I have to tell you...I have seen quite a difference in her over the last several months. She speaks up more (in a social situation) and she isn't as shy about making sure her needs are met as well.
I would say that it is most likely a stage and this too shall pass. Does she go to any type of pre-school? That seemed to help with Sydney. She had school twice a week for 4 hours a day and just the social interaction with kids other than her own family made a huge difference. If pre-school isn't an option maybe a local dance class or tumbling class would be an option? I noticed as her self confidence grew, she was more comfortable speaking up.
Hang in there - I think this will pass as she grows.
Take care,
Kel

I have two daughters 2 and 3... and my 3 year old, Nicole is very gentle and kind (which is great) but i fear she will be walked all over when she gets older. when she plays with her cousin who is more dominate than she is, Nicole will take the subservant (sp?) role. she lets her cousin take the lead all the time and does whatever she says. Nicole is also content in giving up all her toys to other kids if they want to play or even if they don't ask she will just let them play while she is content to sit by and watch. Since my youngest, Brianne loves to follow and look up to her older sister she is doing the same thing.
should this concern me at this stage? i mean they are still rather young but isn't this the formative years? I want them to be leaders too...
Deb
