Question

Accepted Answer

Hi, I can very well understand this as my daughter had same issues till 16-17 months. This will go with time and you can't do much in this regard. However I think this may help a bit:

1. Identify his favourite toys, cartoons, etc and try to take him to places related to those themes to make him comfortable with other people.

2. Let him mingle with other kids ( if COVID is not an issue at your place)

3. Ask people not to give him alot of attention. this is the biggest issue with these kids. They are very sensitive and get conscious when all of sudden everyone starts playing, laughing etc with him. if it's possible them ask everyone to stay quiet and let him take his time to befriend with others. We followed this alot and it helped my baby to overcome strangers anxiety.
