This came up in conversation and I felt the need to address it. How adults respond or react to shy kids. As parents we sometimes want to make our kids talk to strangers/family alike and when they don't meet all expectations, we apologize by saying, sorry he's shy. This is a good reminder, for myself included, to stop making excuses or apologies. Let's embrace our shy kid and have the adults meet the kids' expectations instead and start being a patient and accepting communication partner!
