I am impressed. I am not surprised, though, that you are in-tune with trying to help him.

Now I know that I am simply an introvert:) Shaune and you are doing a great job with Deaglan-letting him know he is most certainly not a piece of junk (!!) and loving him unconditionally. I think that if a kid knows that he or she is loved unconditionally-speaking from my experiences with Amy-everything will be ok.

And as a former shy person, I feel your son's pain. It's SO hard to be shy, and it's hard knowing your child is shy. So very glad you're coaching him early. <br />xoJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17940118384108153753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-77987675680982907072012-08-16T12:33:14.625-04:002012-08-16T12:33:14.625-04:00You are such a good Mama!

I was painfully shy as a kid, I am still reserved now. But Marlie is a social butterfly.

Joel, my youngest, was terribly shy as a toddler. I read an amazing article at the time that stressed not using the 'shy' word around them. It talked about how kids assimulate to what they're hearing. It used a great example of introducing your child to someone new. When they seem shy and won't speak...don't go with the instinct to say, oh, he's my shy one. Instead, get down to their level and remind them that it's polite to look the person in the eye and say 'hello'. The article went with the idea that by saying they were shy, it gave them an 'out' to having to interact. We tried it and it worked wonders. It took awhile, but Joel turned into an amazing public speaker who confident and outgoing. Maybe that would have happened anyway, but I like to think the article made a good point and at least made us aware of how we handled it. Regardless...he'll come into his own with his friends, even if it's only one or two that he feels comfortable around. Your boys are so handsome...I love seeing the pics of how much they're growing. You look beautiful too! Message me next time you're in Sarnia, I'd love to meet up with you for a visit! xoTinanoreply@blogger.com
