Dd is a social butterfly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346321 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:56:20 +0000 MrsF 1346321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is shy but not really clingy. She just likes to sit back and watch things for a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346310 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:54:53 +0000 BananaPancakes 1346310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up until about 2 weeks ago, he would rush in to join anything and always wanted to be a part of what was going on. But we're going through a serious "I'm terrified of everyone and everything" phase, and it's driving me nuts. He's cried more times in the past 2 weeks than in the past year. Hopefully he'll come out of it soon cause I miss my happy, social man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346270 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:48:25 +0000 pelikila 1346270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is very shy. It takes him a good 45 minutes to an hour before he is ready to truly venture away from me or DH and participate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346262 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:46:55 +0000 T-Mom 1346262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS is pretty open to new situations but my DD is very shy. It took several ballet classes for her to get comfortable. Thankfully we made it through her new Chinese school this weekend without any issue (but she is 5 now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346140 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:16:31 +0000 doodlepoodle 1346140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the situation, swim lessons he went nuts bc he loves being in the water, in a gymnastic/play gym setting he CLINGS to me. Until we have to leave. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346128 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:13:59 +0000 autumnlove 1346128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: Ok, whew!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346120 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:11:32 +0000 Weagle 1346120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very cautious and serious. It takes her forever to warm up, even with friends that she sees multiple times per week! It is totally not her personality with DH and I. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346109 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:08:43 +0000 mrsjyw 1346109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A is very cautious around new ppl and in new settings. He likes observing first. There were a bunch of new kiddos and parents in our gymboree class (plus we hadn't been in a few weeks due to travel/holidays/sickness) and it took him half the class to get more into it with the other babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346105 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:07:56 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1346105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's angelic, shy and sweet :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346092 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:04:42 +0000 looch 1346092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: He's 3. I was pretty surprised, because when we did swim lessons, he hung on my neck the entire time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346090 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:04:04 +0000 brownie 1346090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: as a gymnast coach what your child did is completely normal. My son is often very flexible but sometimes throws is for a loop. Then again last night he went to a new sitters with absolutely no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1346024 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 12:49:07 +0000 autumnlove 1346024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I'm trying to remember your son's age...is he 4? :)</p> <p>We can't wait to start soccer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1345983 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 12:42:14 +0000 looch 1345983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is a bit older, but he used to do that as well.</p> <p>He's on his second soccer lesson and he's a BOSS. He goes right in and high fives the coaches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1345980 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 12:41:41 +0000 Sparkler 1345980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's nervous habit is picking his nose when he gets to new places or when new people come over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1345975 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 12:40:41 +0000 autumnlove 1345975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I was embarrassed but a few moms and dads told me that it took a few classes for their LO to fully participate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-toddler-behave-in-new-settings#post-1345965 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 12:38:44 +0000 Rubies 1345965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D1 is the same.

I took her to her first gymnastics class last night and she did not participate until the end....then we had trouble getting her to leave the baby rock wall and climbing station. :P </p>
