I have a daughter, now 5, that I have always considered "painfully shy"... She almost does not speak at all in her kindergarten and when she does- she can barely get her voice above a whisper. Her teacher told me that she is almost afraid to call on her because my daughter will turn red, break out in hives and start to tear up. .... Also, at what point do you seek professional help? I assumed she would outgrow it with age.
To me, the concern is that your daughter breaks out in hives and starts to tear up if called on... it has become something that is affecting her to the point of physical symptoms.
