👨‍👩‍👧 Empowered Parenting for Stronger Families
Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.58 – Supporting Shy or Withdrawn Children: Shyness isn’t a flaw—it’s simply a slower path toward comfort. Supporting withdrawn children means creating safe, gradual steps toward connection. Start with familiar environments and one-on-one playdates before large groups. Celebrate small social victories instead of forcing quick change. Parents should speak with empathy, not criticism, about their child’s temperament. Encourage activities that match their interests so socializing feels purposeful. Avoid labeling them as shy in front of others; focus on their unique strengths. Reading stories about brave but quiet characters can provide role models. Over time, gentle encouragement replaces avoidance with confidence. When children feel accepted for who they are, social growth happens naturally. Patience and understanding help them bloom at their own pace.
