What should I do if my child is timid and afraid of things?

Whether adults or minors, they will have fears about some things, especially children who are more easily frightened. If the sound of closing the door is too loud, the baby will be scared and cry. Some children are very afraid of the dark or some animals, and some babies are afraid of quarrels between their parents, etc. Parents should let their babies learn to face fear bravely. So what should we do if children are timid?

First, what should we do if our child is timid and fearful of things? First of all, parents should know what has been said above. This is a phenomenon in the process of growth. There is no need to worry. As time goes by, this phenomenon will slowly change. There is no need to cause unnecessary panic. Making a fuss too early or making a fuss about it will cause a psychological burden on the child. The child may not have been timid originally, but will gradually be considered timid and become timid.

Second, social activities are the best teachers. If your child likes to be alone in a crowd and children of the same age are no longer shy, then when necessary, you should be his partner and take him to participate in more social activities that children of the same age rarely participate in, any possible social activities, to let him have more knowledge and experience. As he becomes more knowledgeable, his shyness will gradually fade away.

Third, don't order him around or ask him what to do. Of course, if he is willing to do so, that's fine. But if he has already developed a rebellious mentality, he needs his parents' understanding, and you should guide him step by step and tell him that some of his practices are wrong. But don't be hasty and don't make him nervous. Too much disgust and too much care will make him think that he is such a loser in the eyes of adults, and his psychological burden will become heavier and heavier.

What should you do if your child is timid and fearful? Find the internal cause. Maybe the child is just introverted, which is caused by his nature and the family environment cannot be changed. But if the child is very sensible and obedient, don't worry too much, because there is no good or bad difference between introversion and extroversion. Only optimism and pessimism can cause psychological changes in people. Try to communicate with him more. Even if he is introverted, but happy inside, his heart is healthy. Don't look down on him because the child's self-esteem is the prerequisite for all good life. If you find that your child's fear has seriously affected his normal life and study, it is best to seek medical treatment as early as possible.
