1. Put children in pairs or other small groups and lead them into an activity that requires interaction.
Put children in pairs or other small groups and lead them into an activity that requires interaction. Here are a few examples for young children: Pair students and ask them to hold hands when they go somewhere outside class. Ask two children to play together one day. With two or three students, play a group game, such as emotions charades, or a fantasy game, such as firefighters working together to rescue someone.
2. Prompt interaction between children.
Prompt interaction between children. One way to do this is to give the shy child the words to say to another person, for example, "Juan, ask that boy what his name is." Or, "If you don't know the answer to a question, you can say, 'I don't know.'" Or, "Say that you want to play too." If speaking by a shy child is out of the question for the moment, encourage nonverbal communication. Waving hello is much better than making no response to a greeting. Another way of prompting involves talking to one child and to another in a way that encourages them to talk together. For instance: "Christine, I see that you're pretending to be a doctor. Ben makes a great patient. Ben, tell the doctor where you hurt." Or: "Jizreel, you have a dog and Nickie does. Tell her your dog's name." This approach is similar to serving as a good party host!
3. Give shy children plenty of time
Give shy children plenty of time to respond to questions or to speak to the class. Don't rush to speak for them, for instance, during show-and-tell. Be patient -- it may take them a while to overcome their nervousness and speak. If the child doesn't answer after a period of several seconds, go on pleasantly to the next child or activity.
4. Show empathy and understanding.
Show empathy and understanding. By commenting in a caring way on a shy child's apparent emotion, such as nervousness or embarrassment, you can help the child learn to identify those emotions. By talking about similar emotions you experienced either recently or when you were a child, you can show the child that the emotions are OK and that it is all right to talk about them. Identifying and talking about the emotions may help the child control them.
5. Show warmth.
Show warmth. Play with all the children, hug them, compliment them, speak nicely to them, and show interest in them. All children like being treated warmly, but shy children may gain the greatest benefit from being "warmed" up.
6. Reward outgoing behavior.
Reward outgoing behavior. Praise children when they interact in a positive way with another person. Set the reward standard lower for a shy child and gradually require more outgoing behavior for praise. So, you might initially praise a shy child for raising three fingers in answer to the question what is one plus two. Later, you might require her to say "three" in order to receive praise. Still, later, you might require her to say "three" appropriately loud to receive praise.
7. Avoid labeling.
Avoid labeling. Most children have great hearing when a teacher is speaking about them. Never tell a child that he is "shy." Labeling creates a risk that the child will think that he is the label and will always be the label. The child will then tend to live out the role. If describing a child's shy behavior becomes needed, describe it to parents or others with words that are specific, that refer to a past time, and that are hard for the child to latch on to. Say, for instance: "He didn't speak much today, even when others spoke to him."
8. Read books to the class about characters who overcame shyness.
Read books to the class about characters who overcame shyness. Some of my favourites for preschoolers include:
Buster the Very Shy Dog, by Lisze Bechtold.
Chatterbox Jamie, by Nancy Evens Cooney
Gretchen Groundhog, It's Your Day, by Abby Levine.
Speak up, Blanche! by Emily Arnold McCully.
