I agree, having been forced into my fair share of social situations. It most certainly helps develop
social skills that they might otherwise not aquire because they were too nervous. It is a vital
practise and I think more parents should do it instead of taking them home if they start to get
anxious. |

I think it is a good idea to give your children a little push to be more social. It is a normal
feeling to be shy around new people but the more situations children face meeting new people, the
more at ease they will become. I see nothing wrong in putting them in new and different situations. |

Children are like the uncut diamonds which can glitter and become precious if they are cut and
polished in a right fashion. Parents are their first point of contact for every child whenever they
come across a new situation or need a suggestion. Most of the time, they do not have an idea where
they should get involved in and where they should not. It is their parents’ duty to make them
indulge into social activities and take part in the functions. Sometimes they prefer staying alone
in the comfort zone of their home or sticking to the video games or computer screen which gradually
turns them into introvert and unsocial kids. Avoiding the social events can also make them
unapproachable which can lead to behavioural deficiencies in future. Hence it is good for children
if the parents take the initiative to make them participate in all social situations. |

Speaking as a person who's been shy her whole life, putting a child into a social situation might
just kill them, figuratively speaking. If my parents had done that to me, I'd hate them and I'd
feel a greater urge NOT to talk to people. |

No. Never force kids to do anything against their will, unless what they seek to do is harm or
destroy themselves or another person.
Socially, is by choice. Let the kids come out of their shell on their own time, and be their own
unique individual self.
Pay a lot of respect to kids. They deserve it. That helps them grow up to trust their own worth and
judgement. |

No they shouldn't kids should be able to make their own friends and not be forced if they are not
comfortable with it |

There is no need to force them if you start when they are young. Of course, the first time in any
social environment will be a little intimidating to even the most extraverted kid. A child at age 8
or 10 will be less inhibited if he’s had plenty of practice in social situations. Most often, you
don’t have to force kids into any social situation. If you do, then it’s because they have
developed shyness and are bashful and timid, not because they don’t want to enjoy the fun. A
confident kid will want to be social in an environment that he enjoys and can be social at a boring
party or family event as well. If you have to force a kid into a social situation then the child is
probably lacking confidence.
It’s not going to develop on its own either. Parents are responsible for socializing their
children at an early age. They should continue to allow them to experience all types of social
environments as they grow into adults. By social environments, I do not mean school. School is not
meant to be the social environment that’s its unfortunately become. |

No first of all some children develop social skills and want to be out there faster than other
children second of all that would make social programs bring because people who are there wont want
t be there and have attitudes and its just not worth it |

I believe that children should be left to develop socially on their own. I know from experience how
frustrating it is having parents force you into situations that you don't necessarily wish to be
involved in.
I think that if children, particularly teenagers, are forced into joining in with social events then
they will never be left to make their own decisions. Perhaps a little encouragement is needed if the
child seems isolated and unhappy but if they are happy as they are and wish to build up their own
social lives without being pressured, then they should be left alone to do so. |
