shy/unsocialable toddler

[december]

Hi, my DS (23) mnths is still so shy or unsocialable..He goes to child care and he is fine off playing, but when we go to play group once a week, he still needs be by his side.. I am hoping he will grow out of this soon, as it is hard work & i am not enjoying the play group that much, as he doesnt seem relaxed

Gee i hope it gets better..

I no exactly how you feel, although my son is older. My son went to day care and had a very bad experience in the end. When i took him to play group he wouldnt leave my side. I think this is normal todler bahavior for your DS. I think too that when you are there he wants to be beside you.
Hope he becomes more adventurious and you start to enjoy it

sounds normal to me.

he will grow out of it. my Ds1 sometimes does the same.......
how are the other children with him , i know my Ds1 goes shy if the other kids are little bullies he must sence it.

don't worry he will be fine

My DD was so shy when we first started at playgroup and its taken a long time but now she's good and goes to play with the other kids, we've been there a year now and it took a good 9 months before she'd go play.

She's slowly getting better........She's also never been to daycare.

Cheers,
