Answer:

Inhibited temperament

Step-by-step explanation:

Inhibited temperament (also referred to as behavioral inhibition or BI) is distinguished by fear, distress, or removal from new circumstances, surroundings, people, or items.

Kids with behavioral inhibition, when faced with an unfamiliar scenario or person, usually stop their activity and retreat.

When confronted with unfamiliarity, they are watchful of their surroundings and do not approach new items or people on their own.
