SHYNESS AND BODY IMAGE

Why children feel shy - is it due to lack of self confidence?

Generally children feel shy because their age and body image tells them that they are small in stature and strength and very inadequate to perform adult roles or works.

My child is 10 years old. Still he feels shy and nervous. Is it natural or abnormal?

At this age it is defenitely a bit abnormal. A ten year old child is a grown up child. When he feels shy,is it in front of you or in front of the strangers?

Not in front of the family members. He feels shy only in front of the strangers. Is it then normal?

Don't worry. Normally children show a bit of shyness in front of strangers. Once they become friendly with them, their shyness goes and they feel comfortable and behave in a confident manner.

Even with my distant relatives my child feels shy, he never opens his mouth in front of them. His father is also a shy- type and a reseved man. Would this trait affect my child also?

It may be due to the parental trait. Children especially male children imitate the style of their father. To them the father is the role-model.They copy most of the behaviors from him only.

I am afraid,will he in future become a shy-type just like his father? Is  there any remedy to correct it?

yes. There is good number of remedies available. Psychological counseling in the form of cognitive psycho-therapy will be very effective.Consult a competent medical personal so that your child's problem can easily be solved.
