Situations that make a child anxious or nervous can usually be simplified by explaining the situation to them. Let them know everything is ok, and what exactly is going on and invite them to join in. Shyness doesn t have to be problem. Watch your child and encourage him or her to be more outgoing. If shyness becomes uncontrollable and nothing you do seems to help, contact a therapist or social worker for professional help.
Shyness can be painful for both parents and children.
