a childs level of intelligence or even their interest in what is going on. There are many reasons why shyness should be addressed. Shyness can interfere in the
child immersing themselves to the full extent in classroom and even play activities. An excellent example is Daniel. Daniels mother told his teacher on the first day of
school that Daniel had always been shy and had a problem interacting with his peers. Daniel even cried off and on during the first few days of school.
Obviously, shyness was a problem that had to be overcome if Daniel was to ever fully benefit from classroom activities and even just interaction with students.
Coplan and Arbeau (2008) describe shyness as "wariness and anxiety in the face of social novelty and perceived social evaluation and is characterized by an approach-avoidance conflict
in such situations" (377). These authors emphasize that early intervention and prevention is the key to minimizing or hopefully even eliminating severe problems that might manifest later in life
(Coplan and Arbeau, 2008). Shyness can, in fact, be indicative of much deeper problems in the future. In a study designed to evaluate a childs propensity for
developing specific language impairment (SLI), for example, researchers Wadman, Durkin and Conti-Ramsden (2008) found that children with SLI, for example, were also often overly shy. Shyness and SLI are
often integrally linked in fact. Language is a central feature of social interaction. Children with linguistic-pragmatic deficits are likely to have social skills deficits as well. Specific
language impairment (SLI) would be of obvious concern in regard to the difficulties that children encounter in interacting with peers, parents, and others in their lives (Conti-Ramsden and Botting, 2004).
