It is difficult for shy kids to be a part of group activities, which makes socialising and teamwork more difficult. As parents, you can support and encourage them to feel more comfortable in group activities. Make sure you do not push them, be slow and patient while showing them how to be more comfortable in a social event.
Start with smaller playdates or group activities so they don’t feel overwhelmed and more at ease.
Let your child choose activities they like so they feel more motivated and confident to join.
Role-play conversations and group situations at home so they feel prepared for real life.
Don’t force them into activities; instead give gentle encouragement and celebrate small wins.
Let your child join activities with a friend they trust to make them feel more comfortable.
Show confidence in social situations yourself, kids learn by observing their parents.
Acknowledge their attempts to join in even if they don’t fully participate to boost their confidence.
