Many parents say that their babies are very timid and want their babies to become braver. Tried many methods but none worked. What is the reason why babies are so timid? What methods can help babies \”train their courage\”? Let’s take a look at today’s content~ Why is your child so timid? The reason is that over-protection by parents, whether in life or in the process of the baby learning new skills, will lead to some problems that should be solved by the baby by themselves without being actually practiced. Instead, the parents will have full authority to do it for the baby, making the baby Instinctively rely on parents and dare not try. This is the main reason why babies are timid. For example: ① When the baby is very curious about certain things, but the parents warn the baby out of worry, saying: no touching, no playing, or even asking, in the long run the baby will lack the spirit of exploration and innovation; ② Parents\’ temper If you are too irritable, you will lose your temper at the baby without explaining the reason. Gradually, the baby will become cautious. Reason 2: Strengthening instinctive fear. Many babies are afraid of darkness, thunder, injections, haircuts… In fact, it is all caused by parents repeatedly strengthening the baby\’s fear of such things. Out of their own worries, parents will give their babies a lot of \”vaccination shots\” before it happens, telling them \”don\’t be afraid\”, \”it doesn\’t hurt\”, \”it will be fine soon\” and \”don\’t move\”… However, such instructions will cause The baby is fearful and uneasy, thinking \”This must be terrible!\” \”This must be very painful!\” and refuses to move, or even has several adults holding and holding the baby together to prevent it from moving. This series of abnormalities will occur. Cause the baby to panic. Reason three is not recognized. Many parents have a common problem, that is, they turn a blind eye to their baby\’s \”sparkling points\”, but they will seize on the \”mistakes\” and magnify them infinitely! For example, if a baby fails to drink water according to the parent\’s request, the parent will label it as a non-drinker; if the baby eats less vegetables during a meal, the baby will be labeled as a non-vegetarian. But when the baby drinks the water and finishes the meal, the parents take it for granted. Therefore, another reason why babies are timid is that they do not get recognition. Parents fail to discover the \”sparkling points\” in their babies and fail to praise or encourage them in time, which leads to the children being timid and timid. Therefore, parents must adhere to the principle of \”more affirmation, less criticism, more encouragement, and less blame\” for timid children. What can be done to improve baby\’s timidity? 1. Bring your baby more exposure to the outside world. Many timid and shy babies go out less often, rarely meet new people, and do not often play with children. However, bold and generous babies generally have more opportunities to contact the outside world and are well-informed. Therefore, don’t let your baby stay in the house all the time, and don’t be overprotective after going out. You can let your baby interact with others more, participate in more group activities, and give your baby more opportunities to express himself in front of others. This is corrective action. The best way to treat timid and fearful babies. 2. Be more patient when dealing with shy babies. Do not rush to ask the baby to overcome timidity and \”push\” the baby outwards. Instead, you should participate in the baby\’s activities as much as possible to understand the specific difficulties the baby encounters. what, and then guide the baby how to solve the problem and give it correctlyProvide guidance. When the baby\’s ability improves, this fear of facing problems will disappear. The more anxious parents are to change a timid baby, the more likely it will be counterproductive. Therefore, if the baby is shy and timid, parents must be more patient in educating and guiding them, instead of forcing the baby to face new things and new environments, or forcing the baby to express himself in front of strangers. 3. Don’t let the baby be too dependent on the parents. The reason Xiaokang Jun has already said is that taking care of things will cause the baby to be overly dependent on the parents. Not only will the baby be lazy to do things, but he will also be used to avoiding difficulties and challenges. This is an important factor in causing the child to be timid and fearful. reason. Therefore, parents should let their babies do their own things, and should not rush to help their babies solve or accommodate problems when they encounter them. They should leave a certain amount of room for their babies to adapt and exercise their abilities. In addition, to improve the baby\’s timid character, in addition to finding out the reasons that cause the baby to be timid and making timely adjustments and guidance, parents can also use body movements instead of words to encourage the baby, which is very important for young babies. The effect will be better. After all, babies\’ language and understanding abilities are not fully developed yet, so the information conveyed by movements is easier for babies to receive. For example: If the baby is afraid of strangers, parents may wish to pat the baby on the back, so that the baby can feel the comfort brought by the parent\’s hand touch. With the support of the parent\’s enthusiasm and physical touch, the baby will calm down. If the baby is afraid of injections, parents can gently pinch the baby\’s nose before giving the injection, and then tap the baby\’s face to make the baby feel a little more casual and relaxed. If your baby is afraid of getting a haircut, you can let him play in an unfamiliar environment for a while to get familiar with it before taking him to get a haircut. Give your baby a toy that he often plays with or a favorite snack to divert his attention. In addition, I would like to emphasize a common problem of many parents, which is not to emphasize the dangers, such as \”If you move around, your ears will be cut\”, \”If you don\’t obey, I will cut you into an ugly monster\”, \”Don\’t be afraid, it will be fine soon\” the more you Saying so will make the situation worse. Babies are afraid of darkness, rain, and thunder. This is mostly because the child\’s neurological development is not perfect. The dark night will make the vision blurry and the baby lacks a sense of security. Therefore, when the baby is afraid of the dark, parents can sleep hand in hand with the baby and hold them tightly from time to time. You can also occasionally help the baby tug at the corner of the quilt to make the baby feel that his parents are by his side. For babies who are afraid of rain or thunder, parents should clearly tell their children that this is a natural phenomenon and distract their children if necessary. If the baby is afraid of animals, if the parents act timidly and do not set a good example for the baby, it will also deepen the timidity of the baby. When encountering small animals, parents should not let the baby hide behind them, but should let the baby stand in front of their legs, hold the baby\’s shoulders with both hands, and hold the baby\’s shoulders tightly to give the baby strength. You can also squat down and look at small animals with your face and your baby\’s face side by side. This can enhance your baby\’s confidence in overcoming fear. In addition, parents can usually take their babies to visit the zoo and buy some books about small animals for them to read, so that they can know and understand small animals. In fact, the baby’s personalityThe formation of emotional intelligence is not innate. In addition to the baby\’s own emotions perceived from the outside world, it is more affected by the behavior and attitude of the parents. Although timidity is not a big problem, if a child is too timid, it will cause a series of problems and hinder the baby\’s normal social interaction and development. Over time, a timid baby may develop from being introverted and silent at first to lacking self-confidence and having no independent opinion. Therefore, if you want to change your baby\’s timid character, parents must first set a good example for their baby, change themselves to learn to guide their baby correctly, and know how to praise and affirm.
