POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. It’s quite common for some children, especially around 5 years old, to be more introverted or shy. Your son’s ability to focus on studies and writing is a positive sign of good cognitive development. However, if he avoids interaction consistently or seems anxious in social settings, it may be helpful to gently encourage him through small group activities, playdates with one or two familiar kids, or enrolling him in hobby classes. Avoid forcing interactions—give him time and confidence. If you're still concerned or if his behavior affects daily functioning, a consultation with a child psychologist or developmental pediatrician can help rule out social anxiety or other concerns like selective mutism or autism spectrum traits.
