  • Why children don't just "grow out of it"—and why it's crucial to address shyness early in life 
  • The family dynamics that may secretly be triggering shy behavior 
  • Why shyness can drive teenagers to rebellious or cynical behavior 

Understand your child's unique shyness profile and discover how to create a personalized Shyness Breakthrough Plan to ease him through:

  • The first day at a new school 
  • Meeting relatives 
  • Being called on in class 
  • Slumber parties 
  • Sports practices, music lessons, visiting Santa . . . and more!
