Excessive shyness
I think enrolling him in preschool is an excellent start. If it makes you
feel any better, a little girl in my five year old daughter's preschool class last year never talked and was extremely shy. This year she has really surprised me by actually answering questions when people talk to her. I think it is just a matter of socializing with others. In time, he will overcome his shyness (to his comfort) and open up more. Susan "Carli Groven" wrote in message news Hi, my son is 4 years old and is extremely shy. My husband and I are not used to this, because his 6 year old sister is the exact opposite and is really out-going and social. Everytime we go out in public, he covers his face and scrunches his shoulders up whenever someone tries to talk to him. Sometimes he gets all shaky, like he's terrified. He doesn't like to do anything without his sister around. I will admit that we've been a little over-protective, but, as I said, it never made our daughter that shy. Shyness I can understand, but he seems really, really scared of everyone. Is this normal? I'm really worried because he's supposed to start kindergarten this fall. I'm going to be enrolling him a in preschool part-time to try and get him used to the social interaction. He has not been to anything like that before because I stay at home to be with him and I've been using at-home curriculum to teach him things. Does anyone have any other suggestions to help him overcome his shyness/fear toward other people? Thanks! Carli |
