Children are often shy in front of new people,and this is perfectly normal behavior. Between the ages of 3 and 5 years,a child faces many new social experiences,and each time, his or her social confidence is challenged.Shyness is even less frequent as a child approaches 5 years.However,his or her social confidence is still likely to be hit by sudden thoughts like that his or her clothes are ugly ,or that she or he wouldn't know what to say.But with your help ,the child can recover quickly. The first tip perhaps is, never belittle your child when he or she feels shy. The child needs your support,not ridicule.
Here are a few tips on handling shyness:-
* Give children plenty of opportunities to mix with others.
* Arrange for structured activities with adult supervision,where the child feels more secure.
* Don't draw attention to the child's shyness,and try to distract his or her attention, pointing out something or switching your talk to a new topic.
* Never be harsh while trying to get your child out of shyness.
Almost every child is shy sometimes and all the child needs is that you should be near, and be strong and supportive.
