I am not scare of stranger now
Nov 12th, 2008 by Jesslyn
Since young, Lyon scares of stranger. She’ll cry real loud when she meet stranger or visitors come to our house. But she is ok when in shopping mall, except they come near to her and touch her or talk to her. As a result, many of my neighbours or relatives commented that we SELDOM bring her out to see the world or meet with other people. Worst comment is: we only keep her at home and no meet with other people. *such a stupid/silly/crazy comment that I ever hear in my life*
Of course I don’t like to hear those negative comment coz I did not fall into those category. When Wien is small, she also scares of stranger and I also received similar comments from others. Sometimes really feel like want to slap them! Kids will change wan, right?
Now Lyon start making friends when she is in playground or when we go to gathering that has lots of kids there. She’ll play and talk with them too. Unlike previously she just stand aside (stick to me lar) and see her jie jie play with others. I am very proud of her new milestones!

Let’s hope next year she will go to kindy happily without us sitting beside her! btw, she is going to enter 4 yo this month. How time flies!

I thot we suppose to teach them not to speak to strangers. She looks pretty.
my son was once like dat too n ppl keep saying we din’t bring him out but infact every weekend we go out until im so tired… but thank God hes ok now
Dat’s good news about Lyon. Des used to be like dat when she was younger but as she grows, she can get along with other kids in her class and only likes to play with her cousins and neighbours’ kids. The problem is dat she still shy away from kids she’s not familiar with and just cannot socialise with them. How I wish she can be more friendly.
good to hear dat lyon are starting to make friends with kids… nice photo!
btw i have an award for you. hop over to my blog to check it out!
good to hear that she’s ok now. sometimes it’s good to be a bit shy and refrain from strangers. at least won’t kena cheat fr strangers. I’m on the other side of the fence, cause both my kids are very friendly and not shy, i do worry they get conned by those kidnappers.
too socialable scare, too shy also scare…we parent have so many thing to worry hor!
I thot it was pretty normal for many kids to be shy when younger. So those comments are pretty ‘weightless’.
Kids change pretty fast. Ignore the comments and go on with your own life. Hey, did you sew that dress for her?
Yeah, it’s 2-pc dress of Korean style clothing.
Good to hear that coz’ she’s a big girl now. For me, both Keith and Charlotte are not afraid of anyone. I am sooooo worried that someone might just carry them and run. They are too friendly.
Actually i find that if she refuse or scared of strangers is not a bad thing. At least you can be sure that she won’t simply talk to strangers and (choi) things happen.. some ppl just wan to have the say to everything. Don’t worry.. i find the way you brought up ur 2 girl are perfectly perfect! Next time i hv chance i will try to benchmark you.
