| It's just a stage -- it will pass. All you can do is reassure him that he is fine and try not to feed too much into it. This stage should be short lived if you continue socializing him. ↑ |
| My children are different in groups - my daughter (2y. 11 mo) is outgoing, she gets excited in crowds and likes to run around, screaming. She's always been that way. My son (15 mo) needs at least 30 min to warm up to whatever happens around. He needs to be sitting in my lap, or at least leaning to me, facing outward and observing. I am Okay with both ways. They have different personalities, and in no way I am going to force on my son somethiing that is not natural to him. Then there are stages, and your son may overgrow that, on his own time. Or he may always be on the shy side (I call it an observant personality - it sounds better). Also, this society is fixated on a person being outgoing. There are introverts and they have a rich internal life, and there is nothing wrong with that. They just get energized not by the crowds but by being alone in their rooms, with their hobbies or books. Crowds drain energy from them. ↑ |
