How Do I Get My Child to Smile When I'm Laughing at Me?
Five-year-old daughter has a high sensitivity to embarrassment. She thought the laughs were directed at her, and was very sad and shut down. When she's trying to make us laugh, being silly and making jokes, she'll get that self conscious and defensive reaction. I hate to think that something we are doing or not doing is causing my daughter to shut down and down play her sense of humor. Please offer any experience, advice or perspective you have.
