[RP TownTalk] University of Maryland Study for Young Children who are Very Shy (Additional Information)

[Jessica Barnes]

The University of Maryland, College Park is currently recruiting families
for a Preschool Shyness Study. Many children feel somewhat nervous when
meeting unfamiliar people or encountering new situations. However, some
children are so shy and nervous that it can hinder their ability to form
meaningful relationships with peers and can limit their participation in
academics and extracurricular activities. 

 

Drs. Andrea Chronis-Tuscano and Kenneth Rubin are conducting a National
Institute of Mental Health-funded study examining two early intervention
programs for shy children ages 45 to 60 months (3.5-5 years) and their
parents. Research has found that both programs are effective in helping
children feel less nervous in social situations. Please do not hesitate to
contact us at (301) 405-5227 or by email at  <mailto:littleturtles at umd.edu>
littleturtles at umd.edu if you have any questions about the program.
