5. Teach Conversation Skills
You may have a shy child, but they can still be a polite child who knows how to talk with other kids and adults. Basic conversation skills involve turning your body towards the person you’re talking to, looking them in the eye, being able to start a conversation by asking “how are you?” and knowing how to shake hands. Isn’t it amazing how both children and adults use these manners throughout their lives? Teaching our kids at a young age how to be polite is a priceless tool!
