Dear MIMsters: My daughter is very smart but she doesn’t act it.

I have a two year old daughter who just turned 2 in March and she is already in school. I must confess that she has learnt a lot both from me and from the school she attends. She knows so many rhymes, can count  numbers from 1 to 40, knows and can identify all colours. She is very smart for her age.

At school, they teach her with sounds and signs, so she can identify sounds A to Z with their signs and can say what they stand for.

My problem with her is that she is extremely shy. She is so shy that when someone asks her how she is, she won’t be able to answer. They are writing their tests now. Her teacher told me that she did not answer any question, not a single one. This where the questions we revised a night before and she answered all of them correctly.

This shyness is the reason why she still wears her diapers to school simply because she can’t communicate or tell her teacher that she wants to wee and ends up peeing in her panties. I am so sad. This breaks my heart really bad.

Please tell me, MIMsters, what should I do?
