Acknowledge that shy people usually dont think of their shyness as a problem. In the beginning, she probably wont want to say too much, or she might speak with a soft voice. Show consideration for her preferences. Dont ask her to “speak up” or make puns about her personality.

How do you encourage a shy girl?

Many shy girls may keep quiet about their needs and wants because of fear of judgement. As her adult, you have the power to help her ask for and find what she needs to grow in all aspects of her life. Encourage her to be respectfully assertive, so she can express herself in a way that is true and genuine to who she is.
