I don't think a parent can do much to influence whether or not their child is shy or not as an adult. I do think they can help by getting the child involved in sports and other activities and socializing them as much as possible.


I am very shy...still at age 28. My parents had normal parenting style. I got grounded if I did something bad, and rewarded if I did good. I had/have a good relationship with both my parents. They didn't leave me feeling insecure. I was in activities. I had friends. I am just shy. I inherited it. My grandpa is very shy and so is my mom.

Children who grow up feeling secure and develop a secure attachment with their parents tend to be more outgoing than children who develop insecure attachments. Children with insecure attachments are more likely to be anxious.
