Shyness

[Siny Sebastian]

hello,

How can parents help their kids in overcoming shyness ?

There are some things you can do that may help, such as modeling positive extroverted behaviour and giving them plenty of opportunity to socialise with their peers. However, in the end, I believe some children are simply introverts by nature, in turn demonstrating "shy" characteristics. As an introvert myself, I would encourage you to embrace the positive elements of this personality type and be sure that you are not placing undue pressure on your little one to "fit in" with the more extroverted world.
