How to not to be a shy little boy?

My son is a smart, friendly enough and cheeky boy. To strangers who are friendly, he can be really friendly too. However, in the crowded party, loaded with strangers, he can be a different one, just stick with me and cries when someone approaches, while another children just keep being happy. If another child grab his toys, he would just look at his toys gone.

I understand every child is different, but it just so sad to look at him being bullied and can not stand up for himself. If I were there, it's allrite, otherwise how can he survive

He is only 2 yrs, I don't know how to teach him to grab back his stuff. How to built up his confident?

My husband is moving to another city for 1 year, I am considering to move out with him.

I am so worried my son will struggling adapt with new childcare. If he is lucky enough to adapt, then he has to move again next year and struggling again, is it fair for him? Or is it better not to move with my husband eventhough it means my son won't be close to his father most the time?

    My son was very shy and timid at this age as well...they only thing I can tell you is that when children are this young, one year of age and development makes a HUGE difference. In other words, say a teen going from 14 to 15 years old...not many major changes.....but a toddler going from 2 to 3 years old....a million changes! My son, within a year, became much more assertive all on his own without any coaching from us. He does not go to daycare as I am a home mom...but whenever he did go to church Sunday school or a sitter when we went out, I would notice his shyness when I picked him up. Again, he is mostly home with me, so that was a lot of it, so I take him to playgroup once a week, the library once a week, his cousins come over once a week, I just put him in situations more without coaching him though. I didn't want him to think he was doing anything wrong. Now, he is very assertive and fair. He also shares very well. I think things will come around on their own....hang in there!
