Helping Shy & Socially Anxious Children
Telling shyness, introversion and social anxiety apart, and helping a quiet child grow braver at their own pace — without ever trying to make them someone else.
Inside this course
Shy children are among the easiest in any classroom to overlook and among the easiest at home to misread. A parent watching their child hang back from a party, go silent when a relative asks a question, or beg to skip a birthday invitation can find themselves caught between two anxieties of their own: worry that something is wrong, and worry that intervening will make it worse. This course begins by untangling three things that are often lumped together but are meaningfully different — shyness, introversion and social anxiety — because the right response depends entirely on which one you are looking at.
You'll finish with
- Distinguish shyness, introversion and social anxiety, and respond appropriately to each
- Understand why avoidance feels protective in the moment yet steadily shrinks a child's world
- Build a personalised courage ladder that grows bravery in graded, child-paced steps
