Dealing With A Shy Child


You might probably be worried that your very active and fun child at home becomes the opposite of himself when he meets people even his peers in school. Dealing with a shy kid has never been an easy task for any parent and some parents while trying to get their kids to become more social end up worsening the situation.
Here are some tips that could help you with handling your shy kid:


  • Do not make fun of your kid about his shyness as it may probably make him more withdrawn
  • Be supportive of him, encourage him and try not to force him into situations
  • Try and start a play group with friends so that the kids can get to be around one another by this your child might tend to start loosening up
  • Remember that kids look up to their parents a lot and so if you are shy, become more outgoing and less shy around your kid. If he sees you are more open, he’ll want to give it a try
  • Talk to his teacher if he is in school already to know if he can come up with other ways of making him more active and social
  • Teach your kid to make eye contact with people while talking
