Finding it difficult to socialize or mingle with others is more common than you think. Generally people with mingle phobia have no problems interacting with close friends, relatives and family members but however they have an intense self consciousness and fear of rejection or embarrassment when it comes to meeting new people outside of their comfort zone.

I can tell you from fist hand experience, that children learn a plethora of things. They might not remember all the time what they have learned in the past, however everything they have learned is stored in their brains. When they least expect it, it pups up. For instance, just the other day I was trying to remember when and how I had learned to orient myself in reference to the sun to be able to distinguish between N and S. It came back to me that I had learned it when I was in the 4th grade. My 4thgrade teacher instructed us during the geography class about N and S direcctions using the earth and observing the sun pluss using common sense. He said to remember where the sunrise appeared, then we should stand up and point out with our right arm to the sun. Then stretch out both arms left to left and right to right, our face would be looking N(north) and our back would be S (south); the left would be pointing to the W(west)and of course the right to the East where we saw the sun was just arising. I also remember one of my brothers making a homemade compass with a piece of cork and a magnetized needle, he put the needle through the cork and let the homade devise float in water, the sharp part of the needle pointed North and the eye of the needle South. I thought that was pretty awesome! Since children are always learning, even when we think they are not paying attention, we must create good and important memories to help them in their present and future.object width=”480″ height=”385″> Learning is part of growing up, learning is part of children’s nature, they are inquisitive, we must help them learn.
