Everyone's personality is not innate and is closely related to postnatal factors. For example, babies who are used to going out to communicate with others tend to have a bold and outgoing personality. If they often stay at home and do not know how to communicate with others, they will feel uncomfortable in crowded places, which is commonly referred to as timid. What should I do if a two-and-a-half-year-old baby is timid?
What should I do if a two-and-a-half-year-old baby is timid
1. Children who are accompanied and recognized by their parents have reason to be confident
Children who do not receive parental companionship and recognition may subconsciously feel that it is because they are not good enough, not excellent enough, that their parents do not like them, do not want to accompany them, do not want to affirm and encourage them. This kind of inferiority complex will gradually penetrate into the bone marrow and even affect a lifetime.
2. Only children who find their own strengths have confidence and confidence
Confidence is not blind arrogance, because the confidence brought by blind arrogance is like a "paper tiger" that cannot withstand practical testing. Once faced with setbacks, it is easier to deny oneself, and even to be discouraged. True confidence is built on a correct understanding and evaluation of oneself.
3. Only children who have a wide range of knowledge and experience have a broad perspective and confidence
In the current world of parent-child programs, you may have discovered a fact: children from celebrity families usually appear more confident than their peers, and can remain calm and composed like adults in the face of various large occasions and constantly flashing spotlights.
4. Only independent and self reliant children have the ability and confidence
A confident child must have the ability to be independent and self reliant. No matter what environment they face, they know how to respond reasonably. Without this premise, confidence is also blind and hollow.
What are the reasons why babies are timid
1. The child's living environment is closed, and they have less exposure to unfamiliar environments and strangers. The period before entering kindergarten is a critical period for children to adapt to society. The lack of social opportunities and partners results in children being helpless when facing strangers because they lack experience in this area.
2. Adults take too much care of children and protect them too much, especially the elderly. They are always afraid that their children will bump or collide with them, causing conflicts with other children and leading to excessive dependence on adults. When children need to communicate with others, they realize that they have become "flowers in a greenhouse".
3. It is also possible that children learn to be afraid through accidental events in books, television, and daily life, such as thunder, lightning, and other situations. They develop a fear of darkness, tree shadows, sudden noises, and hairy animals, which leads to an instinctive aversion to unfamiliar environments.
4. Overly strict parenting can also lead to children being timid. Parents have strict requirements for what their children can and cannot do. Children always look at adults' eyes when doing things, and they lack confidence in doing things. Gradually, they become afraid of their hands and feet and dare not try.
If parents want to change their child's timid personality, they must be patient enough in teaching. First, they can slowly take him to play in crowded places. Perhaps his performance is not satisfactory at the beginning, but parents should not criticize him, otherwise it will definitely undermine his confidence and make him increasingly afraid of crowded places.
