Circus clowns perform tricks and make us laugh. They wear bright colors, big shoes, and all kinds of wigs and colorful hats. They seem to like people looking at them and laughing at them, but many people-including children-feel shy when other people notice them. And some people are incredibly uncomfortable being in the spotlight. Does this sound like your child? If he feels too shy or nervous often or if he misses out on cool activities and fun because of it, this book can help.

This interactive self-help book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering children to overcome social anxiety-so they can join in the circus of fun and friends!

This book is part of the What-to-Do Guides for Kids series and includes an Introduction to Parents and Caregivers. What-to-Guides for Kids are interactive self-help books designed to guide 6-12 year olds, and their parents, through the cognitive-behavioral techniques most often used in the treatment of various psychological concerns. Engaging, encouraging, and easy to follow, these books educate, motivate, and empower children to work towards change.

What to Do When You Feel Too Shy Reviews

I can apply some of these to my real life. For example, today I met a new friend at school. I tried to use some of the conversation skills from this book, like ask questions and make comments. I also liked the section where you can get rid of worry thoughts by relaxing. Did you know that there are different ways to relax? You can move, make, connect, or chill! I think this will be a great book for any kid.-Susan Faith, age 9, Kid's Book Buzz

A terrific self-help book for children at the elementary/middle school level. This very effective interactive book addresses adolescent fears of shyness and anxiety. Janet McDonnell created the black and white illustrations that are age-appropriate and friendly. These drawings help connect the reader to the text in a comfortable way.-Portland Book Review

In clear language, the authors talk with children about their feelings of shyness, giving specific examples like not wanting to raise your hand in school or to go to a party. They encourage children to draw pictures of times they felt too shy; in another exercise, they are asked to identify how they feel in their body. There are checklists to work with and lists to make, such as confident thoughts to use. In one exercise, children are to list things or situations that make them anxious with the hardest thing at the top of a ladder and the least hard at the bottom. As they work their way up the ladder, the authors say reassuringly, they will discover that 'the steps further up start to look easier than they did at first.'-Spirituality & Practice
