Try a tissue paper or Kleenex over the flash.

The build in flash can do wonders on your camera.
if you can get hold of a flash twin braket which fit under neath the camera and with an arms from each side of this braket which are adjustable arms, with a holder for the flash to fit in . Thats make you having the possibility to use your built in flash plus 2 extra flashes with it ,but how ?
Ok, this is how those 2 extra flashes will simply fire.
On the that braket flash holders, you need to have to small slaves which sinse your built in flash and instintinousely fire your extra flashes.
This way you can have as many as you wish of flash to meet your requirment and the area you need to lit.
I just hope my English was any better , but if you need to see more practical ilistraions of these brakets I am talking about , they are avilable in most camera stores as well as the slave uints and i can assit in showing them to you
All of the best my frined

Try also adjusting ambient light, aperture and shutter speed . . . then not using the flash . . . I have had great lucj that way!

Ambient light . . . extraneous light - can be adjusted by turning on and off lights. Simple. Turn on other lights that might not be directly pointing at the subject. Shooting in the living room? Turn on hall and kitchen lights (for example) or overhead or desk lamps. Meter the light. I only mentioned it because it has worked well for me. Especially if you adjust the aperture and shutter speeds according to the metered light.

Looking at your photo's, Doyle's answer seems to state the problem.
I noted that your subject is far from any reflectings surfaces (walls) so the on-camera flash produces high values of subject leaving the background in relatively dark. A wall or light cloured backdrop produces a scene (exposure) but with flash careful of shadows, another reason for turning on some background lighting.
Your camera probably uses the whole area to set exposure if you can reset to spot metering or if you have center weighed metering mode this aleviates this problem.

Clay and Doyle have explained the problem nicely. Ironically the usefulness of flash is best when you have good lighting to fill in the background. Whenever possible try to shoot outside, near a window, or in the shade of a tree. Try to avoid direct sunlight as the shadows are too harsh and the subject will usually be squinting. Watch out also for surfaces that your flash will reflect off of, including background mirrors, windows, or even eyeglasses.
With good ambient lighting, use your flash to bring a sparkle to the subject's eye. In good ambient light, red-eye is diminished, as the subject's pupil will be smaller. Remember to set your flash compensation to -1EV, it will make it less obvious that you used flash. Also remember that the best flash results will be seen when the shutter speed is approx 1/30-1/125 sec. Faster than that you need high speed sync, and flash output is complicated and power is reduced. Slower than that and you risk flash ghosting and other movement artefacts.
