If you have been struggling with your child to help them open up in front of people, here are some tips that will help you improve your child's social skills.
Teach Eye Contact
The first thing that your toddler must learn is to make eye contact when talking to someone. This makes the conversation more effective and help in boosting self confidence. Look into your child's eye when talking to him. You can also ask him to talk to his toys while looking into their eyes. With practice they will master this art soon.
Help Your Child Identify Emotions
You must teach your child to identify various emotions. You can ask him to imitate emotions like anger, frustration, joy, disappointment etc. You can also buy balls with faces depicting various emotions and then ask your child to identify what each ball says. As a parent, it is important that you respond to situations with the right emotions – for instance if you child does something good smile and say I'm happy or if he does some mischief, make a straight face and say I'm upset.
Improve Communication
Communication is very important when improving social skills. Tell your child he is free to ask questions, talk to you, communicate with people and express his feelings. Kids who are shy to open up in front of people may require the parent's guidance to interact and communicate with people properly.

Early detection is the key to treat autism in children so that with therapy and treatment one can help the brain to mould and be responsive to the social stimulus. Parents and care providers have to be incredibly responsive and sensitive to children with autism regarding their behaviors, in order to help them overcome this disease.
As parents it is possible that you become over-protective or over-caring for your child, but avoid being anyone of these. Let the child face the difficulties and find solutions themselves. You can help them or guide them, but allow them to take control of the situation. Ask them to tell you everything in details so that you can help them find a way out. The more you talk to your children, the more confident they will become about themselves and about their abilities.
