Building Confidence....

We find Giselle has always been lacking of confidence, be it in school or outside when with strangers since young. It is not that we didn't bring her out enough or my hubby and I are shy people. Initially we thought she was just being shy when young, but as she grows older, this aspect didn't improve much though she did try to open up abit at times in front of others when she is in happy mood.

Hence, we thought of bringing her for outdoor spots with swimming and cycling as a start. After a few rounds of being in water, she doesn't cry anymore whenever her head is under the water or has drank some pool water accidentally.

I would be bring her around to try some enrichment classes to improve herself academically and socially. Though she is fine with her usual classmates, we find it is time we bring her out of her comfort zone. Hopefully she would be more confident of herself outside.

We brought her another round of water play at Mount Faber Safra where she met a sweet 4year old girl named Anna. Giselle had some fun playing water gun with Anna. She also opened up abit by answering Anna's Daddy questions like what is her name etc. However, could see she was still abit fearful and kept looking at us.

Nevertheless, Adrian and I were happy that she did try to be friendlier this time :)
