When he is young, your child need not shake hands with a visitor. A simple 'hello' will suffice. A child older than five can be taught to shake an adult's hand while greeting him. Even if he is shy around people he is meeting for the first time, he should still greet them politely to make them feel welcome.
The same greeting behaviour should be followed when he visits someone's home. Have your child greet every member of the household. How a person is greeted will sometimes depend on the level of formality you follow. Make sure you teach your child the different forms of greeting people. Also, guide him on the method to use in each situation.
Greeting people: Teach your child to greet a visitor to your home.
