EXPOSURE
Make sure she participates in any school projects such as spelling bees, science fairs, art projects, book reports, or any other school competition. Try to involve her in any community competitions as well such as library activities. This will allow her to speak openly and work independently for her own efforts. You will grow with her as she makes great efforts while she learns what it takes to work to achieve excellence in projects.
LANGUAGE
She will need to be versed in other languages so make sure she experiments in other languages in school if they offer it. You will grow with her as she makes efforts in learning other languages other than her main language. She will have the ability to communicate with others in other languages if needed. This accomplishment will be quiet rewarding for her so grow with her as she experiences pride in learning something different other than her main language.
SOCIALIZATION
She will need to learn other forms of socialization. Make available to her plays, the movies, the zoo, science center, museum, parks, picnics, family gatherings, church functions, and friend parties. This will help her learn how to get along with others. You will grow together as you will start to get closer and get along better. Teaching social skills brings a child out of the shy mood.
Helpful tips:

• Teach her that failure provides feedback that she needs to become good at the things she chooses to or not to do.
• Develop multiple solutions for problem-solving (be creative)
• Suggest she find her own solutions while you come up with some of your own for her, this is growing as you both work together to come up with problem solving efforts that make her a part of the process.
• The teaching of skills for life and for employment is not seen as a target in schools so we as parents need to teach it
• She has a great can-do attitude
You are growing with her in all her efforts, and you are helping her to continue to make a difference, in reality, you are raising a leader.
