Generally, when a child is around 3 years old, parents will send them to kindergarten, and many children may experience crying and rejection when they first start kindergarten. Some children may even experience personality changes, becoming more introverted and not fond of talking and conversing. Many parents express confusion about this situation. So, what's wrong with a child being too introverted in kindergarten?
What's wrong with a child being too introverted in kindergarten?
1. Teacher ignored, difficult to find kindred spirit
Those babies who are ignored and indifferent by their teachers often suffer from depression and loneliness. Over time, they will lose confidence in themselves, unable to find their place in the group, lack a sense of belonging, lose interest in their teachers, peers, and others, and their social interaction behavior will become withdrawn.
2. Due to temperament, a trauma
Babies who are naturally timid, cautious, and introverted will consciously show control and inhibition of their behavior, and they are prone to retreat when interacting with others. This temperament determines that it is difficult to fundamentally change, but if a baby is not confident enough in themselves for a period of time and often says "I don't know" or "I can't do it", they may also not fit in. Pay attention to distinguishing between the two.
3. Parental shadow, poor parent-child relationship
If parents tend to be introverted and withdrawn, do not like to socialize with others, and cannot communicate with others, it is common for babies to "learn and practice". Of course, if you overprotect or neglect your baby, causing a severe lack of attachment or security, in an unfamiliar environment, the baby may become nervous and withdraw from making friends. Therefore, if the baby is not sociable, they should look for reasons within themselves.
How introverted children adapt to kindergarten
1. Brewing confidence for babies
For shy and introverted babies, encourage them more, allow them to explore, and guide them to interact and socialize with people of different ages around them. Make specific and reasonable requirements for the baby, actively meet and strengthen guidance, help the baby achieve their goals, and enhance their confidence.
2. Let babies and children play
Help babies choose suitable companions. Regularly take the baby out to play with children or invite them to play at home, guide the baby to interact with people, and let the baby experience the joy of interpersonal communication, forming a positive and proactive attitude towards communication.
3. The role of teachers should not be underestimated
The younger the baby, the greater the role played by the teacher. If the baby has already started kindergarten, it is important to observe whether the relationship between the baby and the teacher is positive and constructive. Once it is discovered that the baby does not like the teacher or kindergarten, it is necessary to actively communicate and interact with the teacher, so that the teacher can pay more attention to the baby, encourage the baby, and guide the baby's social interaction behavior, enhancing the baby's confidence.
The above is an introduction to what happens when a child is too introverted in kindergarten. The editor reminds that if parents want to change their child's introverted personality, they should not only encourage their child more, but also communicate with the teacher to help them more, so as to identify the root cause of the child's introverted personality and unwillingness to play with other children, and solve the problem accordingly.
