I haven't had that opportunity as yet, no.
Is this the same girl who smiled at you?
Do you mean this girl? If so, no, different girl and a different school. But she does smile at me - quite a lot, actually!;-)
I have tremendous amount of fear and I am exceedingly Shy around them and Human Being in general which basically destroys any communications with people.
I'm not an extrovert myself; as far as adult company is concerned, I tend to socialise in smaller groups with close friends. But children really are very easy to communicate with because they are so much less cynical and guarded than adults can be. And a sensitive, kindly nature is far more appealing to most little girls than egotism. Our society's values are totally screwed up: pushiness and extreme extroversion is seen as more exciting, more the way people should be if they want to be "interesting". Personally I find people like that soon tend to bore me... I think one of the things I like about little girls is that they can be very attractive, very pretty, very sexy, without that "going to their heads" in the way that physically attractive adults can do. They haven't gone through that process of cynicism.
I have had many experiences where I have engaged in speaking to the daughter and she would latch onto her Mother so tight that her skin have turned blue.
Well it's difficult to comment on that without knowing the context. But little girls are often quite shy with people they don't know, or don't know well. I would say you are definitely going to be better off getting to know the Mother first! Outside of my work, I would, almost always, only speak to kids that I did not know if they spoke to me first. And I suppose I'm very fortunate in that I have in the school environment a ready-made context for interaction with kids.
One other thought has just occurred to me. We love little girls intensely. I sometimes need to make a conscious effort to 'filter' that intensity before interacting with them, so that it is fun and allows them to engage with their playful side! (Obviously I'm not talking about any kind of sexual interaction, I don't do that). There have been times when little girls have come to know that I care for them a great deal, they have sensed that in me, and they've appreciated and liked it. But that's built up naturally over time.
