What should I do if my child has a cowardly character?

Personality is mostly determined by innate factors, and personality has a huge impact on people's lives and can have a very big impact on people's life trajectory. Therefore, personality is a very important factor, and personality can also be shaped through acquired training, but it must be cultivated from childhood. What should we do if some children have a cowardly personality? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

1. Understand the reasons why your son is timid and cowardly

Some children seem to be born timid. No matter how adults guide or educate them, they are still timid about everything, as if they are born lacking in self-confidence. Some children's cowardice is simply caused by their being too sensitive. So don’t rush to change your child. First, look at the root cause of your child’s cowardice.

2. Give your child a brave role model

There must be representative figures of bravery around you, including your child’s classmates or characters in stories in books. So, find a hero that your child can identify with, and use him as a role model for your child to learn bravery. Tell your child stories about bravery and confidence from time to time, so that your child can develop admiration for the "hero" from the bottom of his heart, and then your child will definitely learn from him subconsciously.

3. Let your children learn to interact with society on their own every day

This step seems very grand, but in fact, in layman's terms, it means letting children learn to come into contact with relatively unfamiliar things on their own every day, such as children they are not very familiar with, or strangers they meet on the street. Let him learn to take the initiative to greet or say hello to others. For example, when you take your child out and see a neighbor you are not very familiar with across the street, encourage your child to say hello.

4. Let your children “help” you do some adult things

This is easy to understand. It means that you should let your children do some of the things that you, as an adult, should do for you. Let me give you the simplest example. When my baby was young, whenever I went out shopping with him, when we got to the checkout counter, I would pick him up, let him hold the money and ask the cashier how much it was, then let him hand the money to the cashier personally, and let him say words like thank you and goodbye.
