The Shy Child edition by Philip Zimbardo Health Fitness Dieting eBooks
According to this book, shyness is caused by "a combination of feelings of low self-worth, labeling, and shame."I sought the book out because I have a seven year-old child who has been shy since forever. She does not adjust well to new situations. I believed that she would eventually grow out of it, but she hasn't, and it's now affecting her schoolwork. I was looking for a book that would help and give some real answers.
This book focuses on people who became shy because of poor parenting, or some in-school incident that would turn any normal kid into a raving wall-flower. I am not that kind of parent. I shouldn't have to defend myself.
Someone told me (after I bought the book) that there is something akin to a high form of autism that manifests itself as shyness [aka Asperger's Syndrome]. This is an inborn thing, not learned. But it is not addressed or even briefly mentioned in this book. There are other nervous system disorders, including, but not limited to, Anxiety Disorder and Social Phobia, that looks a lot like mere shyness, but again, no mention here. Apparently it's all my fault.
If your child is exhibiting signs of shyness, and you don't see any external reasons why, then by all means, save your money, don't buy the book, talk to your doctor. Great care should be taken to help a child who is suffering. Because mental, behavioral, or emotional disorders can affect the way the child grows up. If that means they need medication, coupled with talk therapy, then good grief, what are we waiting for? I really looked to this book for some help, but only found unfounded guilt.

The Shy Child edition by Philip Zimbardo Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
I read "The Shy Child" when it was published originally. At that time, I was in my mid-twenties. I couldn't function in public. I was an extremely shy child, and it wasn't going away. This was one of three books Dr. Zimbardo wrote, and I read each one. I understood my shyness, and I confronted it. No one believes I was once shy. Don't expect an overnight cure. But you can overcome shyness. I always wished I could have thanked Dr. Zimbardo personally for giving me my life.
Zimbardo makes a few interesting points on shyness in children. The advice seems somewhat outdated. I don't really recommend reading it.
This fine reprinting (by Malor Books) rescues "The Shy Child" for the many readers who contacted me about its availabity after it was put out of print by a previous publisher (in a cost-cutting institutional move). This book follows up on my earlier popular work, "Shyness What it is, What to do about it." Whereas the research foundation, exercises, and advice I gave there was based on young adults and those upward in age, this book completes the earlier parts of the life cycle, from college age down to preschoolers. The information and ideas in "The Shy Child" came from several years' worth of observations that I and my co-author, Shirley Radl, made in schools at every grade level, from preschool, elementary, middle, high, up to college, supplemented with interviews, research, and workshops with teachers, parents, and students. We try to convey in accessible prose what we have learned about the meaning of shyness in the lives of our children, and what ways the negative impact of shyness can be reduced, minimized, and overcome through a variety of wise strategies and simple tactics. But we propose further that new efforts be directed at preventing shyness from taking hold of the child's life, some of which involve awareness of how parents, teachers, and institutions contribute to the problem and what they can do differently to create prosocial alternatives that make every child a winner. The response of earlier readers has been very enthusiastic, some even reporting "miracle" changes in their shy children, as can be witnessed in the ABC-TV prize-winning video, "The Pain of Shyness." My current concern is the steadily increasing prevalence of shyness in our society over the past decade from a 40% level of those reporting themselves to be currently, dispositionally shy to over 50% now. I think the technology revolution is contributing to this epidemic of shyness by making young people more socially passive and by substituting virtual social reality for the indispensable learning and engagement that comes from real world face-to-face reality. Making people our number one priority is a first step in a new agenda for combating the insidious inroads that electronic technology is and will be having on our interpersonal relationships. I hope you enjoy what you will learn in "The Shy Child, share that knowledge with friends and relatives, and put into practice some of its recommendations. Phil Zimbardo, Professor of Psychology, Stanford University
I'm a very shy person. My dad got this for me before I went to college. When I read this book I was surprised what they found out about shyness. And there are different types of shyness. It gave good tips how to over come it. Even though how old it is. But I still thought it was very helpful.
This is a lucid, informative guide to shyness in children written by a distinguished scholar. Here, Philip Zimbardo provides a summary of scientific and clinical understanding of shyness, as well as practical strategies for helping your child to overcome his or her social fears. Parents, teachers, and clinicians will welcome the return of this classic volume.
I found much of this book to be very helpful, with some great tips on helping the shy child. My child is on the very extreme end of being shy, with some SID to make matters worse. Even so, I thought this book had enough helpful items to make the purchase worthwhile. I'd also like to say something about another reviewer's comment that the book doesn't mention Asperger's Syndrome. This reviewer thought it was a serious ommission on the author's part not to mention AS. However, in the author's defense, I think it should be noted that this book was originally written in 1982, well before most people/professionals became aware that there even was such as thing as Aspgerger's Syndrome. That didn't happen until the 1990's, ten years after this book was written.
