About the Study
Is your child very shy?
Many children feel somewhat nervous when meeting unfamiliar people or encountering new situations. However, some children are so shy and nervous that it can hinder their ability to form meaningful relationships with peers and limits their participation in academics and extracurricular activities.
Drs. Andrea Chronis-Tuscano and Kenneth Rubin are conducting a National Institute of Mental Health-funded study examining two early intervention programs for shy children ages 45 to 64 months (3.5-5 years 4 months) and their parents. Research has found that both programs are effective in helping children feel less nervous in social situations.
