Social phobia in children

When your child has FS can be very shy and quiet when you're with more people, even those you know.. Younger children with FS may also have a condition called selective mutism (not speaking). If your child has this condition, can not talk to other people at social events. Your child can also be very introverted you are always with people other than his own family. Fears of being judged by others and think that will do or say something to embarrass you. May be unable to eat in public or using a public toilet. In the school may have to answer questions, read aloud, do sports or music activities. He can avoid going to parties or going out with someone, and have little or no friend.

That's a pretty good article. I wish my parents would have gotten me help as a kid. I wouldn't be in such a bad place now.

no kidding. when i say that, all they do is get PISSED off mad and shiet, when im the one that should be getting mad with mY FUCKED UP life.

I remember not being able to talk to anyone in kindergarten...it sucked...still having troubles obviously lol

If I'd have a kid, I'd definitely would try to make him/her be socially adequate, including being in front of crowds. I'd do it by having them learn instruments and having them participate in plays since early childhood. Not sure if it's bulletproof, but hey, it sounds like it'd work; it's something I wish I had much earlier in my life because being in front of a crowd is such a BITCH to do at my age (23). Maybe if I started doing it when I had less mental chatter, like at age 4 or 5, it'd be a piece of cake now.
