Mum’s the word: We should look for chances to strengthen our kids’ social skills

If children are confident in interacting with others it takes away so much stress and social anxiety for them. Not too long ago, my daughter Joan and I were out with friends at a restaurant and we wanted extra water and a few other bits and Joan volunteered to go up and ask the waiter for them. My friend was really surprised at this and said that none of her children would willingly do that.

I forgot about it at the time, but when we got home, I remembered what my friend had said and started to think about Joan being social and confident.
