Your Child And Social Anxiety
Your child can develop a fear of interacting with others early in childhood, which can significantly affect their performance in school and other activities. This is an excessive self-consciousness and fear of criticism that can manifest in normal social situations or in occasions where they must perform in front of others. There are signs that indicate whether your child's shyness is social anxiety or a phobia, and you may be relieved to know that there are ways to help them overcome this.
