Our daughter started pre-school on Monday, and the first two days were one-hour sessions with the parents in attendance to ease the transition for the kids. I was sitting next to another dad for a while, before I struck up some small talk with him and we ended up chatting for a while.

We'll probably have a playdate at some point in the next month, and it will help both our daughters adjust to the new preschool. I'm not an extrovert that can walk up to someone and stick my hand out and say hello. But I've been trying to force myself to be more outgoing, to meet other parents and to setup playdates.

Do you introduce yourself to the other daycare/preschool/school parents?
