Myth #2: Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They donât interact for the sake of interacting.
It is best to start teaching play skills with simple cause-and-effect toys, such as a Jack in The Box or a keyboard. Avoid imaginative, work based, or complex toys, such as puzzles, figurines, dolls, or Play Dough. If you hand a child with no play skills a lump of Play Dough, they will likely try to eat or lick it.
In order to teach play skills, you should model a happy and excited affect. The child is observing not just the play skill, but your face, voice tone, and mannerisms. Make sound effects, clap, laugh, smile, speak in funny voices, yell, and cheer as you play with the child.
