shy 4yo son finding school challenging - any advice

[Nocturnalnonsense]

My son who is 4 1/2 yo has just started school - he's finding it a bit difficult and it's bought a few issues to light. Does anyone have advice or recommend a book on the following:
How to help a child who is quite shy to feel more relaxed socially? (he can also be quite inflexible and anxious which I think are all linked.)
Thanks.

Sorry, there is an online bookshop that sells books to address issues like this, but I can't remember what it is. Hopefully this will bump this to active convos and someone will know.

I don't have any recommendations, but there are quite a few on amazon which have reviews which might help? here and here and will link to others.

hth

we've got both of those books and they're great.

also, try inviting other DC from school round to play. your DS will probably feel less shy on home turf.

Thanks for messages. The books look good - thanks blastoff.

got first play date booked for this thursday!

Hope Thursday goes well
