My 13 year old daughter is very good in studies, but she is of very shy nature. She doesn’t play with other children and remains reserve. She also doesn’t take part in outdoor activities. I tried to talk to her about this but couldn’t understand her problem. Is this behavior harmful for her in future? What should I do?

Usually most of the girls suffer with this problem. So I would like to say to make use of a professional to cure this problem. If the girl was under professional treatment they would change the mode of thinking accordingly. So it is necessary to have a professional treatment as soon as possible.

It is a very factor that even though she feels shy, she is the best students in the class. This shows her interest and determination towards studies. You must feel proud to have such a daughter. I don’t have any problem that she doesn’t speak a lot. We already know that those who speak more do less work and those speak less works a lot. Isn’t it?

I think your daughter is of shy nature. To overcome his shy nature, you have to send him in outdoor activities such as games, picnic, shopping etc. May be outside home he will become confident and take participate in other activities. You have to encourage her. Child often needs parent’s motivation and support. By lack of motivation and support they feel alone and become shy.

I don’t think that being reserve in nature is a problem. But reserve people suffer from low self esteem and confidence sometimes. They are unable to express their views and often come in depression thinking that no one understands them. Encourage your daughter to make friends. You can also take help from her school teachers. Try to engage her in some types of group activities. This will surely help her.

You can send your daughter to a good boarding school. She will certainly make good friends there. But you should first consult to a good counselor or therapist before taking this step. Only a good therapist can give you a proper advice. You should give good care and love to your daughter. Try to understand her feelings and give her company. Encourage her to take part in sports and some activities that needs group effort.

Your daughter is a very shy girl. She has developed a social phobia. Don’t panic, this is normal in children of her age. You must build up her confidence and ask questions from her about her feelings, her likes and dislikes. Tell her that making friends will make her feel relaxed and happy. Help her to make some good friend and tell her teachers also to help her out in the same.

If she is good in studies she can also do well in other activities also. Its just she is having social phobia and nothing else. Do one thing. There is strength in numbers. So, help her make friends with one or two same persons like her, so that they can support each other. This will help to build her confidence that she will need throughout her entire life.
