I have 3 DC's age 7, 6 and 2. My 7 and 6 year old DS's are quite 'shy' and can be very quiet when they are with unfamiliar people (eg friends we've not seen for a while) Infact their behaviour is a bit inappropriate sometimes - (eg not wanting to talk, clinging on to me , from the 6 year old mostly...)
I just wonder if I have mollycoddled them and inhibited them by wanting them to be 'good boys' too much...?
Does anyone have any suggestions of what could i do to help this situation???

Those of you with confident, outgoing, chatty DC's - please can you tell me why you think they are that way?
