class left the safe confines of the
classroom and played on the roof with
the bigger kids in the older classes. He
felt so intimidated that he wanted to go
to school only on rainy days when
there was no roof time. His parents

If you think that you’re not up to all
this, or that your child could use extra
practice, ask a pediatrician for help locating
a social skills workshop in your
area. These workshops teach kids how
to enter groups, introduce themselves
to new peers, and read body language
and facial expressions. And they can
help your child navigate what for many
introverted kids is the trickiest part of
their social lives: the school day.
