My mother keeps commenting on how my 6mth old is going to be a shy boy. All because he won't look at her and looks away.
Both my husband and I were very shy when younger (still am really!). There is nothing wrong with shyness but it hindered me in life and I want ds to grow up confident. I realise you can nurture confidence but obviously shyness is part of character.
Can u really tell at a young age? She's mentioned it so many times I'm beginning to get a thing about it!! I just think he's just interested in his surroundings and that boys r perhaps less interested in faces?
