How to bring up a shy 2.5 years old girl?

Hi dads and mums

I have a little girl.  We always teach her vocabs and tricks.  She learns well and is now taking a half-day PN for proper academic explosure.

Until recently, we're looking K1 entry for her.  During interviews, she's too shy, never speak and have no eye contact with the teachers.  Therefore, she was rejected by many schools.  In fact, she should have known all these interview questions and could reply.

She's so talkative with parents, but not with other people.  One of the reasons I enrol her for PN is to let her interact with other kids.  But sounds no improvement until now.

Any parents have the same experience with me.  What can we do in order to let the kid enjoy communicating with other people?  Is she lack of self confidence?

Please share your view.

PN environment helps your daughter to interact socially with similar aged kids.  However, if she is shy in front of adults (as in the case of being interviewed by kindergarten teachers), it may be good to expand her social life by interacting with other adults.  Going to church is a good choice because it provides a trusted environment for your daughter to meet nice "strangers".

Simply bring her out more often. Playground, shopping, relatives or your friends gathering. Let her meet different people. Encourage her to talk to strangers such as saying thank you to bus driver, taxi driver or anyone. At the same time, you yourself have to talk as well. If she sees you talk to strangers or being socialable. She will follow eventually. Don't worry too much.

Don't force her to say "Hi" to people at the begining. If she refuses, ask her why afterwards and explain. If she does, praise her afterwards. But yourself will have to say "Hi" to people, she will learn from you.

My daughter joined their Trilligual class from Monday to Friday, 2.5hours per day when she's 19months until now 26months
She really enjoy this lesson and learn a lot from them. Such as drawing, singing, eating my herself as well as learning the letter (chinese + English) Also, She's very happy to go to school.  Their class is very similar as N1 but I can say that more aggressive and more fun for this kids.
Teachers are good also, they always call me and talk about my daughter performance.  They also give me some suggestion teach my kids at home.  That's very good arrangement and we've a better relationship between learning center and parent.
Actually, this is my comments and just for your reference.  As I dont know your expectation of the about learning center.

My girl is the same. She only talks to people when she feel like it. In the school, she seems too quite and don't response much to teachers
