What to do if a boy is too timid

If some boys around us are timid, we should ask them to correct it immediately. As boys should be braver, then, how to change boys' timidity?

First, allow children to be afraid. Never ridicule children for being "cowards". Instead, find ways to eliminate their fear. For example, if a child is scared of a shadow at night, tell the child that it is the shadow of a tree, just like the shadow of a person. It is natural. Do not lead children to be worried. Do not say: "Don't be afraid, child! Come over here! When you get here, you will see that there is nothing scary."

Second, we should purposefully let children gain useful experience in their daily lives. For example, if a child is afraid of crabs, why not teach him how to catch crabs? If he grabs the sides of the crab's body, he will not be easily caught by the crab's claws. Some children are afraid of cats, and parents can tell him that if he does not pull its tail, the cat will not bite randomly. Are you afraid of dogs? They like to run and chase, so just don't get close to them."

Third, the role model of parents is also very important. Parents themselves should not be inexplicably afraid of everything. For example, when there is thunder and lightning, it is the mother who shouts first. There is no need to be terrified at the slightest thing. For example, when parents accidentally cut their hands, they will apply some red medicine without saying a word. When children see that their mother does not care at all, they will not be afraid when they encounter similar things.

Fourth, parents should deeply understand the reasons for their children's psychological fear. Some children get worried when their parents yell at them. Some children get burned when taking a bath and worry about taking a bath. When children encounter something unexpected, parents should explain the truth to them and make it clear that they must be careful and there is nothing to worry about. Comforting words, hold the child tightly when he is worried; if the child is afraid of children sliding down the slide, hold the child first and slide down; if the child is afraid of thunder, you can quietly hold the child and say to him: "Mom knows that you are afraid of thunder. Thunder is just a sound and it won't hurt you."
