Hi-Just read the replies you got re 16 mth not adjusting to social circles-little and often to the same place first I would say and perhaps with her mother coming along if necessary-hth

You´re dead right! You´re doing it for your daughter! I´d be the same!
While I´d always ensure every child is 110% well cared for etc., at the end of the day, I´m doing it for my son and I wouldn´t have him (or the other kids in my care) lose out.....it sounds horrible I know but I´d bring her out! Obviously low key and build her up
A case of having to do it!
My son HATED baths for ages, so I gave him a bath daily for two weeks and now he loves them!

Margaret, I read your post earlier but hadn´t time respond but was going suggest perhaps pop her in a buggy and go on walk before going into social situation, wrap her up in favourite blanket etc and leave her in buggy, might feel safer till she adjusts. It´s very difficult start a child at that age, especially one mum has had daily until now. You could also try taking a phonecall and tell her youv got talk to your friend and leave the room and she could settle herself, iv used that with my eldest at 4, first time in a summer camp as I couldn´t have any upset at playschool as I was working fulltime. I do hope it works out for your and her. Public health nurse might be one to turn to too.

Maybe start in smaller circles?? It may be the volume of kids / the noise or even too much stimulation??
Perhaps a play date with 2-3 kids??

Ahh god love her! She is basically finding it hard to adjust!
Maybe go to the park?
Playgrounds (outdoors may be less daunting as there are more places she can go!)
Zoo
Petting farms etc

I´d try get onto mammy or daddy again!
Social anxiety in a child so young can be an early sign of a number of things!
How are her milestones? I usually take them with a pinch of salt but if there´s a few things it might be worth requesting a referral

That sounds off!
Is the all of a sudden? Has anything (you´re aware of) happened!?
Kids that young (unless something underlying) are rarely like that!
Almost sounds like anxiety / borderline agoraphobia
