Shyness...

The 1953 vido entitled "Shyness" which was put out by the National Film Board of Canada shows how there is normally an underlying issue that results in a shy child, and that not all cases are the same. There are actually different variations and degrees of shyness. Now, even tho this film is a little out dated it still showed me some insight into the development of children, and especially the psychological development. I now see that a child won't always just grow out of it, there could very well be a measure that needs to take place to aid in the child in overcoming this obstacle. If the child is unable to overcome it, it very well may end up preventing the growth in other areas. In this case, with shyness, the child could grow up having a lack in social skills preventing them from having any proper realtionships or even a good careeer. Again I belive this is in very extreme cases of shyness, definately not all. And although the film did only touch upon the area of shyness in children, I belive the same sort of action can be taken in other cases. That is, to assess the situation, see if there is a serious problem, or underlying issue, then if required try to right the situatuation.
