Hi I'm just wondering if anyone can give me any advice. My 6 year old has recently become very shy to the point where he will not talk or make eye contact with people other than his immediate family. I have recently started a new relationship and he has explained to me that he finds it very ignorant and that sometimes he ignores him too. I immediately leapt to the defence of my child , this comment has made me really upset because I know my child is not ignorant and it is breaking my heart witnessing him struggle to converse with people. It has also affected his studies as he even finds it difficult to ask the teacher for help. For example today he struggled to take his jumper off in school but would not ask for any assistance. So he left it on and was too hot. I am hoping that this is just a phase he is going through because I have tried as many after school activities I could think of that might help. If anyone could give me any advice that would be brilliant thanks x
