How to help my shy 11 yr old son

by dawn110574, Mar 10, 2009 03:44PM
I have an 11 year old son that is so shy he rarely talks to teachers or peers. He seems to only be comfprtable with immediate family. I feel he is an unhappy child and I don't know how to help him. He does well in school (grade wise) and excells in sports. He has a mild speesh impediment that I worry causes him to be made fun of and that is why he won't talk. He is so shy when he missed a day of school instead of turning in the previous days homework he received a "0" instead of walking up to the teachers desk and turning in his work. When I asked why he didn't turn in his homework he said he was too shy. Can anyone relate to this problem, if so please help me and me child.
