Shy Kids:3 years and still very shy.
2000-09-12
Name: Rahul Sharma, Delhi



My 3 year old is excessively shy. Even now she starts crying when approached by
strangers, even though me or my wife are around. She wont go to anyone besides the immediate family even if shes been seeing them for months. Because of this we have not been able to put her in a play school also. Im very concerned about this behaviour as shes due to join KG school in the near future and im afraid it will
be very difficult for everyone involved. Can someone tell me what to do?

Hi Rahul,

Is shyness the only problem? Or do u see a pattern developing. Does ur child communicate as to why she dos not like socialising?I agree she is very young but it is better to find out why now than later.

Hi Rahul. Is you baby very fearful of only strangers or even new situations?
Like is she afraid to try new things, going to new places, eating new food, etc.? If she is, it could be because she has learnt to imitate you or maybe another close family member who is excessively fearful. Children learn maximum about life from their parents and immediate family and they learn through imitating.
Else, maybe she has had a few bad experiences. Either way maybe you need to observe her more and if shes imitating you or someone else - try and change that persons attitude and behaviour.

RE:Shyness right or wrong?
Hello dear this is really nothing to worry as its very common and you should not take this matter as a big concern as kids at this age are normally shy and they do not like meeting new people infact they want only their friends and all with them.... - Anita [View Message]
RE:Shyness right or wrong?
According to me you should take your child to a counselor and ask her what is the exact problem as this is not common and you should get into it as soon as possible and understand the real reason behind the same, please do not ignore this its a request.... - Anaida [View Message]
