How do I improve my child's social skills?

All parents want their children to have good social skills and sometimes we play it too hard on kids. I do it myself, so I am the first culprit here. My daughter who is 5-year-old is a shy girl. She takes time to open up. And sometimes I abide by her personality but there are times when I want her to interact, and obviously, the nature she has, she doesn't do that, which irritates me at times. A few things that you can do are: Take her more often to parks and outings where there are many people around. This will make her comfortable with having new faces around. You can have discussions on topics with your child. Make it a game and all you family members can take part in it. This is what I generally do with my child. It enhances confidence in a child and helps him interact with people confidently. You can follow the link below and it may help you.
