[quote=Anonymous]I hope that you will encourage DS to learn how to not let social anxiety keep him from doing things he really wants to do. (Might be good to work with a therapist to develop an action plan and coping skills.) It’s good for kids to have a growth mindset and know that they can do hard things. I’m not saying an introvert will be happier forced into an extrovert box; I’m saying that a happy life requires some degree of socialization for 97% of people, and DS will be happier long run learning how not to let social anxiety keep him from things he would otherwise want to do. As for applying to college, it would make a great essay when the time comes to talk about how he learned to overcome his SA/build coping skills. Colleges love to see kids’ growth over time, determination, etc. [/quote]
