What should parents do if their children are timid?

Many parents complain that their children are too timid and always hesitate in the face of everything. In fact, when the children are still young, parents can help them to train slowly, and when facing such problems, parents should not blame or humiliate the children.

1. Let nature take its course and don’t rush things

Children's timid and bad psychological behaviors develop gradually as they grow older, under the influence of environment and education. We cannot expect to overcome them overnight. We must follow the principle of gradual progress and guide them patiently.

2. Parents can take their children shopping first

If the child is afraid to go shopping by himself, the parents can take the child shopping together first; tell the child the general procedure of shopping, accompany the child to the same store next time, encourage the child to buy as much as he wants, etc. The child may be afraid to speak at the beginning. Parents can help him start and then let the child continue. After a few times, when the child gradually becomes familiar with the store, parents can watch the child go shopping from a distance, and then let the child go to other stores alone.

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This will only increase the child's stress and frustration, making him more timid and withdrawn.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.
