What to do if a boy is too timid

If some boys around us are timid, they should be corrected immediately. As boys, they should be braver. So, how to change the timidness of boys?

1. Allow children to be afraid. Never ridicule the child as "a coward", but try to find ways to eliminate his fear. For example, if a child is scared when he sees a shadow at night, it is natural for him to say that it is the shadow of a tree, just like the shadow of a human being. Don’t lead your children into worries by saying, “Don’t be afraid, kid! Come here! When you come here, you will see that there is nothing to be afraid of.”

Second, we must purposefully allow children to gain beneficial experience in their daily lives. For example, if a child is worried about crabs, why not teach him how to catch crabs? If he grabs both sides of the crab's body, it will be less likely to be caught by the crab's claws. Some children are afraid of cats. Parents can tell them that the cat will not bite them unless they pull its tail. Are you afraid of dogs? It likes to run and chase, as long as we don’t get close to it.”

Third, parental role models are also important. Parents themselves should not be inexplicably afraid of everything. I am shocked by everything, such as: when there is thunder and lightning, it is my mother who shouts out first. Don't be frightened by the slightest thing. For example, when parents accidentally cut their hands, they would just rub some red liquid on them without saying a word. The child doesn't care at all when he sees his mother, and he is not afraid when he encounters similar things.

Fourth, parents should have a deep understanding of the reasons for their children's psychological fear. Some children worry when their parents often yell at them. Some children are worried about taking a bath when they are scalded while taking a bath. When parents encounter something unexpected for their children, they should explain to them the truth and explain that they must be careful and that there is nothing to worry about. Words of comfort, holding a child close when he is worried ； If a child is afraid of children sliding on the slide, hold the child and slide down first. ； If a child is afraid of thunder, just hold the child quietly and say to him: "Mom, I know you are afraid of thunder. Thunder is just a sound and will not hurt you. ”
