The child is too timid to speak

The chance of a child being born timid is very small. Every baby is a lovely angel. Most of the time, this situation is directly related to the intimidation and scolding of the parents. If we want to change this situation, we must first start with parents, encourage children more, spend more time with them, cultivate their self-confidence and communication skills, take them outdoors more often, and let them get in touch with more new things.

1. Reasons why children are timid and dare not speak

1. Parents’ intimidation

A large part of the reason why children are timid is that their parents often scare them. Parents often use some words such as devils and monsters to scare their children, which has a great influence on them. How can children not be timid if this continues for a long time?

2. Scolding at every turn

Some parents are very strict and have overly demanding demands on their children. If their children make the slightest mistake or do something that is not pleasing to their eyes, they will scold them loudly, criticize them harshly, or even punish them with force. Some parents control their children very strictly, not allowing them any freedom at all, and every move requires permission. The formation of courage is closely related to the child's initiative and flexibility from an early age. Parents are very strict about everything, not giving their children any freedom, not allowing them to step out of line, not allowing them to make even the slightest mistake. This is tantamount to depriving them of their initiative. Over time, how can children become bold?

3. Congenital factors

The parents are introverted and not good at socializing with others, and their children have inherited their characteristics. Parents should understand their children's personalities and allow them to gradually adapt. At the same time, they should give their children as much care and love as possible and encourage them to interact with others. Parents should be role models for their children and not show timidity in front of their children when something happens.

2. What should I do if my child is too timid to speak?

1. Cultivate self-confidence

Children are timid mostly because of their lack of self-confidence. Therefore, in order to help children get rid of the trouble of being timid, parents should find ways to build their children's self-confidence. For example, when children succeed in doing something, they can give appropriate encouragement instead of blindly criticizing them. In this way, they can slowly cultivate their self-confidence and improve their timid symptoms.

2. Don’t rush things

When dealing with timid children, it is very important to create a "stress-free" environment. When a child is unwilling to get along with other children, parents should not force the child to play with other children, because shy children prefer one-on-one communication; when a child is unwilling to perform in front of guests, parents should not force him, because doing so will increase the child's nervousness, and he will respond with more silence and rejection in the future, which will escalate his shyness.

3. Don’t blame or humiliate your child in public

This will only increase the child's stress and frustration, making him more timid and withdrawn. When a child refuses to call people, do not force him to call in front of the guests, and do not say scolding and humiliating words such as “He can’t even call people, he’s a mute”. Instead, wait until the guests leave and then patiently educate and encourage the child.
