Everyone says your child is just shy.
Usually it isn't shyness. It's a few talking skills your child hasn't learned yet, like joining a game or taking turns. Answer 12 quick questions to see exactly which ones, and get a game to practise them tonight.
You've done this before.
- Free
- About 3 minutes
- Not a diagnosis
"Shy" doesn't tell you what to do.
- At home your child is bright. Funny, even.
- Then you watch them at the edge of a game. Wanting in, not going in.
- The teacher says they're fine. You go home still worried, and you can't say why.
What "shy" often really means
shy- Joining in
- Taking turns
- Reading faces
Talking with people is 12 separate skills. Children learn them at different speeds, so a child can have nine and still be missing three.
How it works
Answer 12 questions
Usually, sometimes or not yet. You already know the answers.
See which skills are missing

The 12 skills it checks
You'll recognise most of them in about a second. You've been watching them for years.
Who made this
A puzzle-game maker, not a clinic. I make games for children 4 to 8. I wanted this for my own family, found only textbooks written for clinicians, and built it.
It can't diagnose anything. If something worries you, a speech and language therapist is the right person to ask. Your results give you something specific to show them.
