Many parents try to help a shy child by pushing them to be more "outgoing," but this often feels like a threat rather than a solution. In this episode, parenting expert and mom of three, Efrat Amira, breaks down the biological and psychological difference between being quiet and being anxious. You’ll learn why the "self-centered" culture of social media is making social anxiety worse for the next generation and—most importantly—the simple, incremental strategy to help your child shift their focus from themselves to others. In this episode, you’ll discover: The Introvert vs. Social Anxiety Distinction: Why "quiet" is a trait, but "anxious" is a state of mind. The Spotlight Effect: How self-centered thoughts ("How do I look?") create a prison for children. The Antidote to Shyness: Why curiosity is the fastest way to build real social confidence. Small Wins: Incremental steps (like ordering at a restaurant) that build the "bravery muscle." The "Center of the Home" Trap: Why over-focusing on our kids' feelings might actually be making them more anxious.
