I am doing a research paper in school.  I would like information on "normal" behavior in a 2 year old.  My project is to determine if a two-year-old boy who is extremely shy and extremely fearful is within norms for this age group or is developing outside of the norm. Would family or environmental situations contribute to this behavior.
Any reference web-sites would also be welcome.
Thank you very much
