    Thanks so much for sharing our post on social anxiety.
    I am happy to say my son has come a long way this past year. He actually played on the equipment at the park last week when other kids were there, a HUGE accomplishment!
    For all the other parents out there, there is hope; they just have to go at their own speed.
