Our product testers had this to say about What to Do When You Feel Too Shy: A Kid’s Guide to Overcoming Social Anxiety:
“My son gets anxious in new social situations like most kids and we’ve been working through the book since the end of the school year trying to prepare him for his new class. Already at parties, or at orientation he’s much more engaged and able to speak up for himself.”
“I’ve been working to boosts my daughter’s self-esteem after some bullying issues she endured. This book has helped us both handle things in a civil way that will make things more positive and move her toward overcoming the anger and frustration she has dealt with in the past.”
“My first two children are social butterflies, but my youngest is nothing like them. He now understands it’s ok to be himself and has some tools to react to others instead of either totally going into his own shell or trying to be like his much more social siblings.”
