My 4 year old son is quite shy – he is often afraid of kids at the playground and only engages in parallel play occasionally.
Can anyone recommend any picture books or Mr Rogers / Sesame Street episodes on interacting with other kids? I think that he needs examples of the skills required to talk with other kids, as well as examples of shy kids having fun with other kids.
As a side question, I don’t understand how lemmy works. How do I see the c/parenting groups on all of the other lemmy servers?
I think you’re right on the money with kids needing the examples of playing. Just watching other kids play is a normal part of development. As far as videos go there is a good Ms Rachel video on playground skills This one I think. The video would kind of psych them up to go to the playground.
