NAPPA Award Winner and finalist in the Foreword INDIES Book Awards. What to Do When You Feel Too Shy guides children and their parents through the emotions underlying social anxiety and uses strategies and techniques based on cognitive-behavioral principles to address the issue. Circus clowns perform tricks and make us laugh. They wear bright colors, big shoes, and all kinds of wigs and colorful hats. They seem to like people looking at them and laughing at them, but many people—including children—feel shy when other people notice them. And some people are incredibly uncomfortable being in the spotlight. Does this sound like your child? If he feels too shy or nervous often or if he misses out on cool activities and fun because of it, this book can help. This interactive self-help book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering children to overcome social anxiety—so they can join in the circus of fun and friends! This book is part of the What-to-Do Guides for Kids series and includes an “Introduction to Parents and Caregivers."
