ELSA Support Shyness Resource Pack

This is a shyness resource pack requested by one of you lovely ELSAs. It is aimed at KS2 upwards.

This resource pack is to help children who want to be more confident and brave. They want to overcome their shyness because they are perhaps missing out on things in life. Being braver and less socially awkward may help them have more friends, face their fears and open up new opportunities.

There are a whole range of emotions that can come from being shy such as nervousness, anxiety, fear, panic, and embarrassment. Children need to be able to deal with these emotions with coping strategies.

One of our TAB booklets in colour and black and white
3 worksheets in colour and black and white
