Tips to Parent Your Shy Child
Work with your child’s natural shyness to improve coping
skills.
Every child has bashful moments.
Some kids, though, are shy.
Can you simply let your children be
shy, or do you need to "bring them out?"
“You can do both,” says Christopher
Kearney, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Shy children may not become social
butterflies, Kearney says. “But you can still help them learn how to function
in social settings and build relationships.”
How
shy is too shy?
In general, there’s nothing wrong
with being shy. Shy kids are often better listeners and get in less trouble at
school.
Being bashful becomes a problem when
it gets in the way of doing what’s normally expected, or when it’s making your
child unhappy. You may want to get professional advice if your child:
- Doesn’t want to go to school
- Has trouble making friends
- Frets about going to birthday parties or sports practice
- Is anxious about being shy
What
causes shyness?
Shyness is pretty common. It’s
estimated that between 20% and 48% of people have shy personalities.
Most shy kids are simply born that
way, although negative experiences can also play a role. Did your child’s
shyness come on suddenly? If so, an event might have triggered it, and they may
need help getting past it.

Tips
for helping a shy child
Provide an entry strategy. Help your child approach a group of peers and listen,
allowing everyone some time to get used to one another. Teach them to find a
break in the chatting and join in. Offer talking points beforehand, such as, “I
like boats, too.”
Build confidence. Remind her of a time when she was in new situations and got
through it. When going to a birthday party, for example, bring up another party
you went to and how much fun she had with the other children.
“Help them through challenges that
are self-reinforcing, so they want to do them again,” Kearney says.
Work on social skills. Give your child chances to practice his social skills
whenever you can. In the store, encourage him to pay the cashier. At dinner,
have them order his own meal. Invite a friend over to play so your child can
get more practice being with peers.
Offer feedback. Praise or reward your little one for small steps, like
saying “hi” or waving. If they freeze up in front of someone, talk about it.
Discuss things she can try next time.
Express empathy. Tell your child that you can see they're feeling shy, and
that you feel that way too sometimes. Share stories about times when you
overcame your own shyness.
Model outgoing behavior.
