Social skills take time to develop and children need our guidance. In today’s episode, Dr. Cara Goodwin explains how a child develops social skills as well as what to look for in children who might have social anxiety. Dr. Goodwin also explains shyness and offers us tips to help our children if they are shy. We discuss the opposite case when a child isn’t shy at all and is very outgoing with strangers. I asked her about Selective Mutism and how a parent can differentiate this vs shyness. Lastly, she answers questions from parents including if we could help a child with social skills by placing them in daycare or preschool.
