How to educate a child who is introverted and shy

In my class, some students are lively, some are introverted, and some relatively introverted students do not like to talk and do not take the initiative to interact with classmates. They need special attention and guidance from teachers. In the process of educating and guiding introverted students, I summed up the \”trilogy\”, namely attention-discovery, affirmation-motivation, and follow-up-improvement. Attention – It is found that introverted students are not very active and are not good at expressing their opinions. They are \”silent\” in the class and lack a \”sense of presence\”. Therefore, teachers should see their existence and pay attention to them. There is a very introverted girl Z in the class. She has dark skin and wears a pair of glasses. She sits quietly in her seat every day. She never takes the initiative to answer questions or communicate with her classmates. She is also timid. He speaks softly, always like a frightened deer. He is a very inconspicuous member of the class and is easily ignored by teachers and classmates. Ever since I found her \”special\”, I have paid special attention to her. Communicate with her through eye contact and give care and encouragement with friendly and encouraging eyes, so that she can feel the teacher\’s care and attention. This silent attention gave her great encouragement. She became more relaxed in the class and dared to answer questions in class. Affirmation – Encourage teachers to have a pair of eyes that are good at discovery and find the shining points of each student. Since introverted students lack initiative, teachers must take the initiative to observe and understand them, discover their shining points in a timely manner, affirm them, and stimulate their initiative. Although Z is always silent and has a dull expression, which makes it difficult for people to understand her, I found that she obeys the rules and obeys the teacher\’s instructions, and is a \”good child\”. This is valuable and worth learning from everyone. Therefore, I praised her in the class and said during class: \”Z has sat down, his school supplies are neatly arranged, and he is ready for class. This is really a good habit!\” During lunch, the class was a little chaotic: \”I I saw Z eating quietly and practicing \’eating without speaking\’, which is worth learning from everyone!\” When standing in line: \”Z stood first and stayed quiet. I hope everyone can do the same!\”… These \”trivial things\” Her trivial matters gave her great recognition and won applause from the whole class. Gradually, her expression became richer, her head raised, her reading voice became louder, and her study progressed… She experienced an unprecedented sense of accomplishment and pride, and became cheerful and confident. At the same time, Z’s case also makes students understand that it is not only those who study well and have talent who can become role models, but also those who can do ordinary “little things” that are inconspicuous, and can also become role models. Follow-up – Improvement As the saying goes: \”A country is easy to change, but a person\’s nature is hard to change.\” Changing a person\’s personality is not easy, and there is no \”once and for all\” universal strategy for educating students. After students make good changes, they must continue to follow up, consolidate existing educational results, and further strengthen guidance. When students perform well in a certain aspect, teachers should promptly affirm and encourage them to stimulate their enthusiasm and enhance their self-confidence, so as to encourage them to perform well in more aspects. Z was greatly encouraged by becoming a role model for observing rules and disciplines in the class, which inspired her self-confidence and internal drive, and mobilized her enthusiasm for learning.Subsequently, great progress has been made in terms of academic performance and self-expression: writing neatly, taking the initiative to ask questions, communicating with others… These are all the results of continuous follow-up and continuous guidance. In short, the educational guidance of introverted students must maintain a certain degree of continuity and long-term nature, and achieve more progress on the basis of guiding students to consolidate the progress they have made. Today, classmate Z is no longer an introverted and withdrawn \”little flower in the corner\”. Not only did she integrate into the class, she also became a group leader and an active member of the class. The \”shy\” rose bloomed beautifully, and I was really happy for her change.
