Don't push a shy kid too hard. Learn to build his trust and confidence.
|
Shy people are often misunderstood. Shyness is often seen as a defect
in personality. Parents who have shy kids tend to push them too hard in
order for them to become more outgoing. Of course, they do not have any
bad intentions for their kids. They just think that being more outgoing
will make their kids grow up to become successful adults. However,
dealing with these kids requires a lot of patience. Some might shut
themselves off when pushed beyond their limits. I have even seen
children who refuse to speak to strangers, teachers, classmates,
relatives or neighbours except to the immediate family. When this
happens, shyness might become a hindrance to the child’s well-being.
