[blparent] labeling our children

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

Hi,

I can't stand when someone says to me, oh is he shy?  That's not even a word 
that's permitted in my house.  My kids are far from shy, but my little one 
is going through a bit of separation anxiety lately so people ask me if he's 
shy all the time.
