Mothers and fathers not only care about their babies' physical health, but also their children's mental health. Everyone hopes to cultivate their children into positive, outgoing, and lively individuals. But many children are afraid of meeting strangers. So, what are the reasons why 18 month old children are afraid of strangers?
The main reason is that children have less contact with outsiders, and they may be afraid and resistant to strangers. Some children usually only live in their own small families, especially those who are taken care of by their grandparents. They rarely go out to play, have less contact with outsiders, have strong dependence, and cannot adapt to the environment independently. Such children hide when they see the newborn, cry and fuss when the newborn holds them, and are even more timid when they encounter new environments and teachers in kindergarten.
We should take our baby out for more activities and visit parks, supermarkets, and other places every day to help them get used to living with strangers and going to unfamiliar environments. When playing in the park, encourage children to play more with peers of the same age to enhance their language and interpersonal skills.
Provide open parenting for babies, encourage them to explore and try on their own, and cultivate their courage through practice.
