Today we’re going to talk about shyness and discuss recent research on ways to
help children learn to react socially.
Many people consider themselves shy. In fact, forty percent of the people who took
part in our survey said they were shy – that’s two out of every five people. And there
are studies to indicate that the tendency toward shyness may be inherited. But just
because certain children are timid doesn’t mean they are doomed to be shy forever.
There are things parents, teachers, and the chidren themselves can do to overcome
this tendency – and even to prevent it.
One reseacher found that if parents gently push their shy children to try new things,
they can help these children become less afraid and less inhibited. Another way to
help shy children is to train them in social skills. For example, there are special
training groups where children are taught things like looking at other children while
talking to them, talking about other people’s interests and even smiling.
These groups have been very successful at giving shy children a place to feel safe
and accepted , and at building up their self-esteem.
