Darl, just want to reassure you that it's nothing you're doing wrong. Some kids are just made that way. I know because my second daughter is just like this. Takes ages to warm up. Some of my friends have never heard her talk because she clams up yet she's a chatterbox at home. She is going through a 'phase' right now. I had to call the childcare centre this morning because she was saying she didn't want to go. We worked something out but she still wasn't happy when I left. I know it's rough.

Now, if she was my first child, I would no doubt be beating myself up. Because she's my second, I'm a lot more accepting of the fact that she's just made that way. My first child has been brought up in exactly the same way yet she is THE most outgoing child you could possibly meet. Everyone comments on how extroverted she is. They are opposites who just came out of the womb with different personalities. I have done nothing to turn my children into introverts or extroverts and neither have you.
