So… how can you as a parent know whether your child needs help overcoming their shyness or whether they are a bit on the introverted end of the personality spectrum? With that said, having a more introverted temperament doesn’t necessarily mean that your child will develop an anxiety disorder. For example, infants and toddlers may be wary of strangers, behaviorally inhibited, and/or difficult to soothe. It’s a daunting and confusing decision as parents may be getting mixed messages from loved ones, schools, and outside providers of what is considered “normal.” If a child is genetically predisposed to anxiety, however, this is often detectable very early in life. “We waited, thinking he would grow out of it, but it only got worse.”Ī parent’s internal battle of when to wait and when to take steps to address their child’s excessive shyness is a real one. “I was reserved too as a kid, but this seemed different.”
A useful book to add to the self-help section of the library.“The school said that she was timid, but to give her time and to not force her.”
