What can make my outgoing child shy?
Apparently Story Time at the Public Library.
One of our Summer Bucket List items was to attend Story Time at our local library. I thought Jude would love socializing with other kids his age especially since he’s such an outgoing kid. Boy was I shocked when he hung on to my leg and didn’t want to join the group sitting on the floor. I didn’t know what to do with this strangely shy kid. Never in his life has Jude been so clingy. It was bizarre.
Aside from his sudden shyness he appeared to have a good time. He paid attention to the librarian and even participated in the songs and hand-motions, he just never left my side.
After story time we looked around the kid section and picked out a book to check-out. When we got in the car he said he had a good time so I guess we’ll be going back. Hopefully next time he’ll break out of is shy library shell.
