  Case: Parent reported student as "shy", what to do?
Tutoring a child after school tomorrow and his mother reports that he is often afraid to ask for help in the classroom. She said she has tried encouraging him to ask for help but has been unsuccessful. Does anyone have any good strategies to use so that he may be more comfortable in his classes to ask for help?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First the social anxiety should be removed from the environment. To do so, the teacher should interact with child as much as possible so that the child can start feeling comfortable around the teacher. The other aspect of the problem could be that the child is especially shy when he needs to ask for help. The teacher may want to establish a system where student does not have to verbally indicate he needs help. The teacher, for example, can have students write notes to the teacher at the end of each day. This could give the shy student a different way to express himself when needs help. Depending on the outcome, other strategies can be applied.
