✦ Synopsis

Teachers, contrary to popular belief, are more perceptive of withdrawn behavior, and consider shy, withdrawn behavior to constitute a greater problem than do the mothers. The finding that mothers perceive fewer and/or less severe problems involving immaturity and inadequacy than teachers do, pinpoints an area in which more articulation between mothers and teachers is needed.
