Children have a natural fear of strangers and unfamiliar environments when going out because they are not yet fully developed and have relatively small bodies. Many two-year-old mothers have reported that their children are afraid after going out, not only of adults but also of children. So what should mom do when she encounters this situation? How to help a two-year-old boy overcome his fear?
What should a two-year-old boy do if he is afraid of children
1. Let go and let the child do their own thing
Taking care of children's affairs is not love, but harm! This will make children unable to cope with various things in life due to lack of exercise, making them fragile and lacking confidence. So, let children do their own things, eat, dress, and use the bathroom by themselves. Only when they master these skills can they become more confident and bold.
2. Encourage children to take risks appropriately
Climb a small soil slope, jump into a small puddle, and try swinging higher on the swing. These will not be given
Do not stop children from engaging in small "risky" behaviors that can cause significant harm, even if the parents have some concerns
Worried, just protect the child secretly. Children's courage lies in a little bit of these 'adventures'
3. Teach children life skills
Teach children various life skills from a young age, such as cooking, using electrical appliances correctly, and even repairing simple appliances, instead of blindly preventing them from doing these things. Only when children master the correct use of electrical appliances can they avoid danger to the greatest extent possible. Moreover, these skills can give children great confidence in themselves and make them more optimistic about life. An optimistic and confident child cannot be timid.
