How Will i make my year old more outgoing?

Hello Friends,





My son will turn a year old next month.I work 9-5, but i do visit home in the lunch time so that i can spend more time with him...! We have a maid who takes very good care of my son.But now the problem is my son does not go to new people( relatives) ..he will go to only myself and his father...Otherwise he is a quite baby...but I want him to be more outgoing and would like him to explore many new things..


I am thinking of keeping him in day care for at least half day so he will be able to spend some time with the kids of his age group..but some how my husband does not agree with this idea..


Will day care help my son become more freindly with the people?

Yes. For your son to develop social skills he has to have a "social" life. You should be very cautious in finding what day care you place your son in, but it's a good idea. If your husband doesn't agree, you two need to have a discussion on how to get your son out into the world. But he does deserve to be around other children.
Reply:yes, it will help him to be more social. but i would go for a day care Center (more children his own age) not at home care. i can understand why your husband would not like the idea. day care has a bad rep. unless your a working parent in need. there are a lot of germs that are passed amongst a lot of children. but believe me it does help build his immune system, so expect colds with in the first month, if you go. if you dissagree about day care, you could always try playgroups or on saturday's going to parks or the library or more social places. call your city information center for local groups...or start one on weekends with an add in paper. good luck! %26amp; have fun!
Reply:i think daycare is great for helping develop social skills in kids, however, i think your son is just in a phase and will grow out of it. at his age kids tend to be shy and seperation anxiety starts to kick in. take him places where there are people, like shopping etc.


if you really want to do daycare, then start him part time when he's about 2. i think that's a great age to start daycare.


that's how long i would have waited if i could have stayed home with my son. he's been in daycare since he was 2.5 months. he even isn't always wild about strangers...he likes them, but he doesn't necessarily want them to hold him. know what i mean??

Reply:To try to inspire your child to be more outgoing, you can get him involved in age apropriate activities. But try to remember... someone who is shy may just be that way naturally on his own. You can do anything you want to attempt to bring him out of his shell, but if it doesn't work -- he and you are not failures. He just has a different temperment ... and there's nothing wrong with that!
