Does your child struggle with joining in to play with other kids?

Quick Tip: Watch this video with your child. Ask them questions during the story about how they would feel talking to someone they don't know or asking to play with kids who are already playing together. Try to find out more about why they feel the way they do. Once you can narrow down what they are most nervous about when it comes to joining in to play with other children, you can figure out how to best help them. Giving them dialogue that they can use in real life situations and having them practice at home with you in a safe environment is very helpful (there are several examples of dialogue you can teach your child in this story).
