First line
"As is often the case with behavioral research, the real story on shyness can sometimes get lost in statistics and emphasis on obscure laboratory experiments."
From the rear cover
Is Your Child Being Held Back By Shyness?
Dr. Bernardo Carducci, one of the world's leading authorities on shy behavior, shows you how to help your child join the fun by plainly explaining:
The causes of childhood shyness (it's not genetic)
Why children don't just "grow out of it"--and why it's crucial to address shyness early in life
The family dynamics that may secretly be triggering shy behavior
Why shyness can drive teenagers to rebellious or cynical behavior
Understand your child's unique shyness profile and discover how to create a personalized Shyness Breakthrough Plan to ease him through:
The first day at a new school
Meeting relatives
Being called on in class
Slumber parties
Sports practices, music lessons, visiting Santa . . . and more!
"This wonderful book offers a readable, easily followed plan for helping children, as well as adults, win over the challenges that shyness poses for them. Dr. Carducci brings years of experience successfully working with shy youngsters to this set of new advice on transforming shyness into sociability."--Philip G. Zimbardo, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Stanford University and author of The Shy Child: A Parent's Guide to Preventing and Overcoming Shyness from Infancy to Adulthood
"Dr. Carducci is an internationally recognized expert on the psychology of shyness. His new book provides a well-organized, easy to use, and tremendously helpful Shyness Breakthrough Plan that will help parents guide a shy child or adolescent toward success."--Jonathan M. Cheek, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Wellesley College and author of Conquering Shyness
"Dr. Carducci always surprises me with his creative thinking and compassion. I am impressed by how well he listens to the voices of the shy and extracts so much meaning from them. All in all, this is a book of wise optimism that can help children break out of the prison that shyness can sometimes be for them."--Hara Estroff Marano, editor-at-large for Psychology Today magazine
"The Shyness Breakthrough provides an easy-to-follow plan to help children of any age 'warm up' in shy situations and develop the interpersonal skills needed for social confidence. I highly recommend this plan for becoming 'successfully shy' for any shy person or the people who love them."--Diane F. Halpern, Ph.D., president-elect of the American Psychological Association and director of the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children and professor of psychology at Claremont McKenna College
