Just recently my son has gotten extremely shy. When there are people around that he doesn't know, he will hide behind things and stay there until they leave. He has always been a little on the shy side but now it has gotten worse. Is this a developmental thing or should I have him checked by a doctor?

I think your baby is ok. A that age most children act like that because they are forming their personality. Just do't worry and gve him sometime because as long as he is doing everything else he's prob alri

i think of that is in all probability known for a 2 12 months previous. If it persists or you somewhat that uncomfortable with it, why do no longer you are attempting putting her in a daycare with different little ones, that way she'll get some exposure to human beings different than those she already is conscious. What a pair of mommy and me play team someplace. If she's different little ones doing it she might follow alongside and start up doing it too and recover from that shyness she feels with assembly new human beings. i'm hoping I helped in easy terms slightly, that is been see you later considering that i've got had youthful infants and mine weren't worried of something.

This is a totally normal response. If after a period of time with a new person, your son still won't interact I would not push them. I would encourage your son but not push it. They go through stranger anxiety during the first year and then they can go through it again later on. Just reassure that the person is mommy's friend and they are okay to talk to. Make sure that they still are aware that if mommy is not there it is not okay to talk to strangers. You could also approach it by having the stranger get down on his level and play with some toys that belong to your son. I think that If he sees someone playing with his belongings he will get either curious or upset and will interact at some level. Good luck

It's developmental. He is learning that there are new people in the world. Also, he has come to realise that he can communicate, but not very well, which must be a bit scary.

two is very young to worry about that. He might just be a good judge of character. he he. Do not worry, I have a 4 and 5 year old and all they want to do is talk to strangers. Be glad he is a little skiddish. He will grow out of it.

It is a normal developmental stage for a 2yr old to be shy or overly shy. Before you know it you won't be able to keep him from showing his personality and warming up to others with ease.

This phase, like all the others will pass in time. Stop stressing.

I would have him checked. He may just be at that age where he is feeling more clingy. But I one of the signs of abuse is for the child to withdraw. So get him checked just in case.
