My 10-year-old daughter is painfully shy and seems to have no confidence at all. Support her friendshipsYou mention in your question, that your daughter is the “quiet one” in a group of friends in the class. Large friendships groups can be prone to issues of “fallings out” and exclusions or one child getting typecast as the “quiet one” or the “confident one”. Sometimes you can even rehearse the situation in a fun role-play where she practices asking a question in a group. The teacher could also help by setting your daughter up with some small manageable leadership tasks in a group that help build her confidence.
