[quote=Anonymous]I think this is something you can work on. And not to please others, but so he can redevelop that confidence for HIM. Practice in the mirror, practice with trusted family and friends, then set up a situation (like a trip to a favorite donut shop) where he will have to say thank you to the person who gives him the donut. Have a big reward ready (not just the donut) if he is audible and makes eye contact. Build a ladder of success. Ask him which thing he can do first and then check it off when he goes. For example first he says it loudly in the mirror. Check! Then loudly to mom. Check! Loudly to dad. Check! Loudly to Aunt sue. And so on. Your own form of CBT at home. [/quote]
