What to do if your 2-year-old baby is timid

In life, many parents pay special attention to everything about their baby. When the baby is two years old, parents hope that their baby will be brave and can do many things by themselves. However, many babies are indeed timid. There are many reasons for the baby's timidity. Parents can cultivate and train the baby's independence through various methods in daily life, so that the baby will gradually become braver.

What to do if your 2-year-old baby is timid

Children aged 1 or 2 are taught to be timid by adults. When the children just learn to move, adults always tell them to be afraid of this or that, or to not do this or do that when they are about to do something, and they always show frightened expressions in front of the children, so that the children have a psychological impression of fear.

2. Parents should never say they are afraid in front of their children. When the children are doing something, they can tell them the safety rules in advance. For example, if the children want to play on a very high slide, they must encourage them to go up bravely and hold on to their hands. As long as they hold on to their hands, they are safe. Some parents will tell their babies not to go if they are afraid, which will make the children timid.

3. To change a child’s timidity, parents must start with themselves. What other children can do, your baby must do as well. Courage is developed through training. If you don’t allow your child to try, you will not be able to develop courage.

What is the reason for the 2-year-old baby's courage?

The reason a child is timid is that her parents pamper her too much. People's living standards have improved, and children are the apple of the family's eye, especially the only child. Parents and grandparents revolve around the child and spoil him. They are not allowed to do this for fear of falling, and they are not allowed to do that for fear of getting cold. As a result, the child gradually lacks independence and becomes timid.

1. Genetics:

If parents are introverted and not good at socializing with others, their children will inherit their genetic characteristics to a large extent and will also be introverted and shy. Parents should first understand their children's personalities and give them a gradual adaptation process. 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. Educational methods:

Nowadays, most children are only children. Parents' doting will make children overly dependent on their parents. They feel that their parents are there for them no matter what they encounter, which leads to the formation of a timid and fearful character in the children. Another reason is that when children are disobedient, parents often use "ghosts" or "monsters" to scare them. Some parents also use words like "there are scammers out there who will take you away" to discourage their children from going out to play, leaving a shadow in their children's hearts. These are all problems with the way of education.
