Breaking the Ice with a Shy Student
The start of the school year can feel intimidating for shy students (or any student!) — and that’s where you come in. A few small moves can help them feel comfortable and start building a strong connection:
- Start with simple choices (“Which book should we read?”)
- Notice something positive about them
- Share a fun fact about yourself
- Add a playful moment (silly face, quick game)
- Give them space — sometimes patience is the best icebreaker
These simple moves can help students feel safe and start to open up.
