If your child is overly shy, here's what you can do:
				Be sure not to criticize or embarrass your child, since shy temperaments are very common. Teach your child how to open conversations using a few simple phrases. Consider making your child more comfortable by beginning the interaction as a family.
					Remember: We all want to be better parents - but kids don't come with an instruction manual.

			When your child becomes too argumentative at home, here's what you can do:
				Keep in mind that some arguing is a step towards independent thinking and growth. Give your child choices whenever possible to help your child feel empowered. Don't fall into the trap of arguing about unimportant matters.
