What to do if your child is too introverted and timid

Many parents now have a common worry, that is, they feel that their children are more worried about their inner selves. Many parents hope that their children can be extroverted and can quickly integrate with other children when going out and play and laugh together. It is a normal reaction for parents to have a lot of worries when they feel that their children are introverted and timid. When children have such phenomena, parents can slowly guide them to interact with other children and the outside environment.

The first thing to be clear is that the child’s outward timidity and shyness is a personality issue. This is partly due to natural factors, but also to later life and educational environment. Another reason is the child’s lack of self-confidence.

Method 2

At this time, parents must work hard on their children's daily education methods and approaches. Don't always stay at home when you have nothing to do. Take your children out more often and let them interact more with adults and other children. Maybe the children will be very wary at first, but with more contact, they will naturally become less wary.

Another situation is that children don’t say hello to adults. In fact, it is not that the children are impolite, but that the children have a strong sense of self-protection and are too timid and reserved, which leads to them not knowing how to speak and being embarrassed to speak. Parents must not scold their children at this time, as this will be counterproductive.

Method 4

Parents can adopt a step-by-step approach to coach their children. At the beginning, the voice may be very small. Parents should encourage the child to call louder again. When the child's voice is loud enough, they should also teach the child to look into the other person's eyes when calling a name to show sincerity.

Parents should also teach their children daily etiquette education. Even if not all the etiquette, but the most basic etiquette of how to behave and treat others should be taught to children. For example: Every time the parents ask a question, no matter what the result is, the child must give a straightforward answer.

Method 6

Another thing is that as parents, we should not make too high etiquette requirements for our children and should not have too high expectations. When you see adults talking to children and greeting them outside, don’t “interrupt the conversation” for the children. Let the children take the initiative in their own words.
