Is my child shy or is it anxiety?

Update: 2024-07-24

Description

Some children jump right into new situations, and some are slow to warm. But when is it shyness? And when is it something more? I welcome Dr. Melissa Giglio, a child clinical psychologist, author, and director of a private practice in Hong Kong.

We discuss:

How are shy kids misunderstood

The difference between shyness and anxiety

Strategies to support our slow-to-warm or anxious children in new situations
