Your child needs all the help he can get when it comes to overcoming a shy streak. Kids are not typically born with an energetic spirit and they would typically need our help to be able to get past through that shy streak. As people who are older than them, kids will look to us to help them get through this awkward phase of getting to know other people and becoming as sociable as they can really be. Since we are the closest people to them, we can definitely do some great things that would help them come out of their shell. 1. Start with finding a good preschool - Kids may feel shy and overwhelmed with the thought of having too many people around them. When finding a preschool it would be best to consider an institution which only gets a few students so that their teachers can focus on them individually. You need to help your child establish trust with other older people around them and this can be made easier if the teacher can actually focus on your child. You should also spend time to scrutinize the classes and activities which will be provided by the said preschool so you can assess if it suits the interest and capabilities of your child. 2. Attend events for kids - One good way to help ease your child into a large group of people is to actually attend some events with them and be there to usher them out of their shyness. You can start by taking them to kiddie parties or going to parent-child bonding activities. You really need to invest your time in attending such events with your kids because it's there that you would be able to observe what triggers their shyness and then come up with better ideas on how you can target such triggers. 3. Set an optimistic example - Once you see your child feeling slightly awkward or unsure of situations, be the person to boost their confidence. It also helps to show your child that things can be accomplished with a can-do attitude. Just make sure that you don't push them to do something, just coax them into becoming positive about the activity. 4. Talk it out with your child - Sometimes it might be hard on your part to actually understand what makes your kid shy. So to deal with this, you better be open and honest about the situation with your kid and ask him what makes him feel uncomfortable around other people or big crowds. They will be comfortable to tell you about it and then you can help them understand why it's okay to become more sociable and how can they position themselves in the middle of people they are not yet close with. 5. Role-play at home - If there are specific situations where your kid gets particularly shy, you can help them overcome this by acting it out at home. This way you can also teach your child directly how they can react and speak with people when they are in that particular situation. The best person who can help your child overcome this is you. All you have to do is be extra caring and thoughtful with this situation because this can have a big impact in the personality development of your child.
