my 3 yr old often feels shy and is slow to warm up to people but we have never made it about his "beingness", just how he feels. It is funny to watch ridiculous grown-ups trying to break through when he's not ready, and he's gotten good at telling them off =O And we're all so "different" that I don't think my kids have any idea what "normal" is ;-)
