My Daughter Shouldn’t Turn up Like me

Its been three days since my daughter Jahnavi has started going to her new school Yesterday she told me that she is hungry as the teacher didn’t give her snacks. Now I am sure the teachers there are caring and responsible. They must have been busy attending to other kids. Jahnavi said that she was playing and didn’t know when the food was served. May be she is lying. May be she saw others eating, but didn’t have the courage to go to the teacher and ask for the snacks.
That’s me actually. I avoid interactions with other and do my best to shun people. I feel nervous when I have to meet somebody or go out to get something done. I don’t want my daughter to turn up like me.
She has some of her father’s traits too. She likes going out. She can roam around the streets and won’t complain that she is tired. She was only two and a half years when we went to Paris. We didn’t use push chair as Paris roads and stations are not child friendly. Jahnavi enjoyed there a lot and didn’t complain one bit that she can’t walk or that we should pick her up.
Jahnavi takes time to open up. I think most of the kids do, its a basic part of child psychology. But in her new school, she is the only one who can’t speak English. And I have noticed that other children don’t play with her. I so want to talk to her teacher to be with her for a few days. Everyday I decided to talk to the teacher and every day I am returning home with just pecking on Jahnav’s cheek.
