Is My Child Too Shy? — Parenting Self-Test
63 questions·10 min·5 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 14 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test describes what you observe in your child: the withdrawal in groups, the time they need with a new person or a new place, the ease of saying what they think in front of others, and the physical signs before a social situation. The report looks at each of these aspects and shows the pace at which your child is already making progress on their own.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Adolescence in Crisis, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
Is My Child Too Shy? — Parenting Self-Test — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test describes a reserved child's social life without setting out to correct it: withdrawal, comfort with new situations, self-expression. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This interactive test covers your child's reserve in groups, comfort with new situations, self-expression, how social situations are experienced emotionally, and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Withdrawal in social situations “At recess, my child stays at the edge of the playground.” “My child suggests the game and hands out the roles in the group.” Comfort with new people and situations “In a new social situation, my child holds back at first.” “My child widens their circle and gets to know new people easily.” Ease in expressing oneself and taking one's place “My child makes requests to an adult in a barely audible voice.” “My child is the first to speak, without waiting for others to start.” Emotional experience of social situations “Before a new social situation, my child gets a stomachache or becomes restless.” “The day before a social event, my child is in their usual mood.” Readiness to change “What I've just described weighs on my life as a parent.” “I want to take action to better support my child in this area.”

Reference frameworks and authors
This questionnaire was designed to help you take stock. It does not reproduce a published validated scale and is not a clinical assessment: its results are a starting point for reflection, to discuss with a professional if needed.
