I still feel like cringing sometimes when shyness comes as a topic of conversation. I was labeled as a shy girl when I was young and this has remained in me until now, although it’s not as strong as before.
Whether it is negative or positive, if we continuously say something to young children, it is likely to be remained in their memory and heart for their (entire) life.
If you are concerned about your child being overly shy, I recommend to observe your child’s behaviours closely and try working on self-belief and social skills. I talk more about this in the podcast. If you want to hear my thoughts, listen to the podcast episode below!
