What would you do to get the student to open up and start talking? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would first recommend observing the child to understand more about them and receive more context. Being 'shy' can simply be a personality trait of a child, in the same way adults can be introverted. However, if you being shy can potentially set back the student in their learning, then observe the child and learn about their interests. Do they like to draw? Are they drawn to books? Which books? Learn about their interests and slowly work towards building rapport, then who knows maybe they will begin to speak with you.
