According to the article teachers may be able to help shy and withdrawn students considerably by using strategies that are relatively easy to implement and well matched to the teacher's basic role as a helpful instructor to students. I believe if the teachers are helping to provide self-concept support, encouragement, and opportunities to develop confidence and comfort in the classroom is essential to helping shy and inhibited students to come out of their shells if some of their needs are met by the efforts of the teacher. I also think these students must be monitored and instruction should be geared to help maintain their attention.

I agree with this article that shy or withdrawn kids needs the teacher's help and encouragement to come out of their shell in the class room situation. I believe what it boils to is that shy children just need more attention out of a teacher or parent, becuase in a situation where they might not know something they have a tendancy to clam up and not even try.
#1 - Sun Nov 28, 2010 7:19 PM ESTYes, I agree with the article. The main thing is intervention and getting these children involved to make them feel comfortable enough to participate. The strategies discussed in the article are great if someone take the time to implement them. If left alone these children will maintain the same withdrawn behavior.
#2 - Sun Nov 28, 2010 7:38 PM ESTTeachers should encourage shy and withdrawn children. Socialization is one of the many ways we learn.
#3 - Sun Nov 28, 2010 7:45 PM ESTI agree with this article it is vital for shy or withdrawn children to have opportunities to develop emotionally and socially. It is hard for these children to develop emotional and social skills because they tend to withdraw from society and choose not interact with other children. It is important for teachers to recognize these types of children in order to intervene and use strategies as the article discussed in order to help steer them in the right direction. I want to become a teacher after I graduate and hope to make a difference in the lives of children. This article may just provided me with the insight I need to help a shy child develop social and emotional skills.
