Shy children often feel nervous or uncomfortable in social situations. They may avoid speaking to new people or participating in group activities. This behavior can stem from various factors, including personality traits, past experiences, or environmental influences. While shyness is a common trait, it can sometimes lead to challenges in making friends or expressing themselves. Parents and caregivers can help by encouraging social interactions in low-pressure settings and providing support to build confidence. Understanding that shyness is a normal part of development can also help children feel more at ease in social environments.
