Noha Abu Sitta: A Quiet Child Can Have Strong Social Skills

Dr. Noha Abu Sitta, presenter of “Welad El Naharda,” said that quietness and shyness in children do not necessarily indicate weak social skills.

Her remarks draw a distinction between a child’s outward manner and their ability to relate to others. Being reserved should not, on its own, be taken as evidence of difficulty forming social connections.

The point challenges the assumption that a more talkative or outgoing child is automatically more socially capable. A quiet disposition alone offers too little basis for such a judgment.

Abu Sitta also highlighted respect and boundaries as foundations of friendship, placing the emphasis on the quality of relationships rather than how outgoing a child appears.
