My 7 yr old daughter is outgoing and talkative and basicly a class clown. With her friends she is really goofy and doesn't seem to care what people think of her.
However, every time we get in a situation that she doesn't know very many people she gets really upset. Usually when we go somewhere that she doesn't know many people, usually parties for kids who's families her father and I are aquainted with, she doesn't talk to anyone and frequently cries if she doesn't see one of us or if there are too many people around her.
We went to a party on Saturday though and she made herself so upset that she threw up. I left her sitting on a couch to go get drinks and I got sidetracked talking to someone. By the time I made it back to her, the room was full of people and she said her stomache hurt. I took her to the bathroom and she threw up.
I feel so bad for her but I don't want to be tethered to her forever and I don't want her to miss out on doing fun things because she is too nervous about not knowing anyone.
Any advice would be appreciated.
