How to Help Children with Social Anxiety?

First of all let us address the question of u201cWhat is Social Anxiety?u201d. Social anxiety is the difficulty of children, could be as young as 4 years, upon interacting with others, which makes them shy and obedient in classes, reluctant to join any class groups and most frequently avoiding any social gatherings or situations.<br>It is not that easy to notice social anxiety in children, as most parents or teachers often label them as u201csilent type of boy/girlu201d who is just shy to talk to others.<br>Let it be shyness or fear or anxieties, it must be seriously looked upon for the child to have a good social life ahead. One of the best ways to address these issues is group therapy, where kids meet other children of the same age with similar issues and fosters a friendship via sharing and helping each other.
