Don't push him into anything. Let them participate and share at teir own level. Push him too much and he'll shut right down and become anti-social. My son is at church, VBS and other activities. If he wants to sit in a corner by himself for awhile, I let him. He does eventually join in at his own pace. I have learned to choose my battles carefully. I cannot force my child to go against his nature. I have another son who is completely opposite. He is extremely extroverted to the point where he always wants to be at the center of attention. Each child has his own way of socializing and learning. Proverbs says, "train up a child in the way he should go..." that means let him be who he is. There is a time to insist that he at least try new things, but also a time to back off and let him proceed at his own pace.Dave Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06852211097876436044noreply@blogger.com
