Young Children Who Are Shy And Easily Embarassed .

My first child is a very talkative and outgoing girl. She loves to talk to anyone who will listen. She started talking very young and has never stopped. She has never been shy in her life. My son on the other hand has been shy since he was a baby. If he doesn't know you he won't talk to you at all, he just clings on to myself or his Dad. He has gotten a little better since he started school, but he's still pretty shy.

I think it has alot to do with todays society. The first things I taught my kids was not to talk to strangers. You have to with the dangers today. Kids are being snatched in malls or off the street. So maybe this is why they appear to be shy and not talk to you. It is just what they have been taught.

Yes, a lot of children are like this. Even my daughter is a little bit shy, especially in situations with a large group of people. I was a teacher for 22 years & saw many shy children. It's best to try & bring them oyt of it a bit, to give them more confidence.

I was painfully shy as a kid and it had nothing to do with any of the things mentioned above, I was just shy. Our daughter is very outgoing and our son was very shy but as soon as he started school he really came out of his shell and is now very confident...he still has those shy moments but they are few and far between now.

This is not the children's fault, but rather the fault of a sick society that allows child molesters and perverts to roam free to hunt and abuse our children, To day our first words to out children are" do not talk to strangers", right, stay by my side. So of course our children are shy, as they haven't any social skills, and even if they did how can they over come the years of do not talk to strangers, every one is a stranger, so they do not talk to any one other than class mates and family. It is time for us to make our world safe for our children,

Yes I have met such bashful children, Sukumar. As a matter of fact my second daughter was very bashful and would hold her head down when she would pass by visitors in our house. But when she started first grade her teacher was wise enough to sit her next to a very gregarious child and that broke her out of it.

there are many children who behave this way in our society. we like them, we say that they are reserved and well behaved. this is because we are also exposed to some children around us who are rude and discourteous, we do not wish any of these kids hanging around us. the quiet kids may need to be exposed to having a more active social life. they might have to be made to understand the need to be able to intermingle with others so they will become well adjusted individuals when they grow up. they don't need to be very sociable people, they just need to be able to face and talk to people with ease and self-confidence.

Met that child?!?!? I WAS that child!!!!

My eldest child is very shy. It takes time before she comes out of her shell. My second child is the exact opposite. She has a ready smile for everyone. I try to expose my eldest child to different kinds of people and places. I'm hoping this will help her get used to people and things that are not usually found at home.

I also used to be a shy child, now nothing has changed i am still a reserved adult,only having few close friends and when taking with people sometimes even not daring to directly look at their eyes. Only on the net I can say something more open and directly.I hate my shyness, admiring the outgoing and active people who never will accept me as a friend coz my few words and dullness, which make them boring.If I had returned back to my childhood, I would walk out more and be more acitively in human relationship. Shyness often start at childhood, and the crucial period when getting rid of it is also during the childhood.
