shyness problem

I read from babycenter.com about shyness in young kids (especially yang umur 2 tahun). mende ni biasa saja, natural, harus ditangani dengan betul.

Iman makin besar ni makin pemalu, bila jumpa orang tu, kadang-kadang sampai menyorok, tutup muka. sometimes we'll say 'Iman ni pemalu sikit' and sometimes we'll say 'iman ni lambat sikit nak warm-up, nanti lama-lama baru okay'.

i read that we can't label kids, or they will start believing it themselves. (lepas ni takleh cakap 'iman ni pemalu' when introducing him to others). But the second approach (addressing his situation) is much preferred.
