Many kids are slow to warm up meaning they

Many kids are “slow to warm up,” meaning they are uneasy or cautious in new situations or with unfamiliar people. As babies, maybe they didn’t like being held by just anyone. As toddlers, perhaps they stay on the “sidelines” for a while, watching what others are doing until they feel comfortable enough to join in. These kids need time and support from caring adults to feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations.

Try this to help them warm up -
Give notice about new people, events, and places. Let your kids know when family is coming to visit, if there’s a birthday later that afternoon, or if they will be in an environment with new kids next week. Letting your kids know what to expect gives them a sense of control, which can reduce anxiety.
