Since I found out my daughter has Selective Mutism I have been looking at books to help her and our family work through her shyness. I've loved the book and loved learning about myself and my children's personality's also.

Wish I had read this when my children were younger. Has some valuable insights.
I read this book looking for ideas for my oldest. A lot of things made sense, being shy myself. Making sense, and being obvious-duh ideas, are different in my book, and this was the former.

I read this trying to get some strategies to help my shy son who is starting kindergarten. It had a lot of common-sense ideas for young children which I'm trying to implement.

It was pretty helpful, but could have been clearer and had more examples of what to do & say.
Looking for ideas for my child #2!
