Today we're going to talk about shyness anddiscuss recent research on ways to help children learn to interact socially.
Many people consider themselves shy. Infact, forty percent of 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 thatthe tendency toward shyness may be inherited. But just because certain childrenare timid doesn't mean they are doomed to be shy forever. There are thingsparents, teachers, and the children themselves can do to overcome this tendency--- and even to prevent it.
One researcher found that if parents gentlypush their shy children to try new things, they can help these children becomeless afraid and less inhibited. Another way to help shy children is to trainthem in social skills. For example, there are special training groups wherechildren are taught things like looking at other children while talking tothem, talking about other people's interests, and even smiling.
These groups have been very successful atgiving shy children a place to feel safe and accepted, and at building up theirself-esteem.
