[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know but I have a niece who exhibited this at a young age and we always thought she’d just grow out of it but she never did. At a certain age it comes off as really rude. She is a senior in high school, has close friends but it’s honestly just hard to be around her or carry on a conversation if you’re not one of those few friends or her mom. Soft/social skills are really important basic life skills and I think it’s good you recognize it early and want to get him help. [/quote]

This is why anecdata isn’t helpful. My sister was like this as a kid, so shy that her kindergarten teacher remarked to my mom at the end of the year that she had basically never heard my sister utter a full sentence. Fast forward to now, sister is super social, never had trouble making friends after around 2nd grade or so, is the opposite of socially awkward. She did have intense stranger anxiety as a toddler/preschooler and it just took her longer to grow out of it.

OP, just keep an eye on it and meet your kid where they’re at right now.[/quote]
