Refusing to greet or talk in front of strangers - Help

nlj1216

My daughter is an active girl.  She talks alot at home and in front of people whom she is familiar with.  However, she is unwilling to wave or greet people despite asking her to do so.  She would only do it when people do not take notice of her.  
We have already taken her to the parks.  She is ok and loves to play with children, but she seems nervous in front of adults.  
How can I help my daughter improve in this area?

慢慢嚟，我大女以前都係咁，佢會縮埋喺我後面。但慢慢大個，成熟咗淡定咗，又加上自信，佢依家會自動叫人。
每個小朋友都有自己成長嘅時間表，急唔嚟。

1. 如果為面試，上面試班
2. 唔為面試，帶去朋友屋企，比朋友照顧兩小時

你平時是否只叫她叫人、打招呼？有沒有試過你自己主動跟人打招呼，等佢睇你點做？我的小孩之前都怕大人、唔打招呼，但我無迫佢做，反而每次我帶佢出街都自己主動跟屋苑清潔姨姨、叔叔、大堂姐姐、哥哥、屋苑鄰居等打招乎，可能佢曰曰都見我咁做，佢自己慢慢就會跟着我做。小孩時常都會以父母做榜樣，試一試吧。

How old is your daughter? Your girl is the same as mine till shes 3yo. She spoke a lot at home but cried when she saw strangers. I was very worried as she cried in almost all interviews. But luckily she was not as shy after 3 and she did well in interview and eca.
I cldnt do anything to make her chg as this is her personality.
She loved playing with other kids, and even approached them asking them if they could play with her, just that she didn't like adults. I brought her out almost everyday to malls and parks, she reacted normal in open area but when she saw strangers in our home or a room, e.g. Interview room, she would cry if I was not with her.

drama is good. also do not ask her questions that she doesn't know the answer of.

We actually greet people in front of her to show her that it is manners....I know its a matter of time but how can I improve her confidence in speaking up to people...
