A child's immature nervous system needs special attention from adults. The rich imagination of children fills real life with various dangers. Therefore, a young man needs special protection and understanding from his parents. How can you help the baby to overcome all kinds of age-related fears?
Instructions
Step 1
Take your baby's problems seriously. Don't try to joke or make fun of your fears, no matter how insignificant they seem to you. It is pointless to persuade or force to be brave. Do not use personal fearlessness as an example. It is unlikely that you will be able to become a role model. On the contrary, the realization of his own weakness can serve as a reason for the child's next disappointment in life. And the baby will feel even more defenseless.
Step 2
Children very often suffer from hypertrophied guardianship of their elders. Uncertainty of adults in a child's independence often creates new fears. Therefore, try to encourage and guide your child's desire for independence. Increase his self-esteem and faith in the ability to overcome his own weakness. Remember to praise your baby every time he overcomes his anxiety. If today your little one bravely remained in a dark room, then this is an occasion to encourage the little hero with your favorite treat.
Step 3
Try to limit the flow of unnecessary information. A fragile child's psyche is very mobile and vulnerable. Watching a large number of TV programs (and even cartoons) negatively affects the unformed personality. There are many other options for a variety of children's activities. Replace your TV and computer with books. You can gather the whole family in the living room after evening tea and revive the tradition of reading aloud.
Step 4
Visit the theater and circus more often, at thematic exhibitions. Only be responsible when choosing a play or performance for your impressionable child. Pre-collect feedback from the audience about the production you are going to attend.
Step 5
Expand the circle of interests of your child, distract from unpleasant memories. For example, sign it up to an art studio. By depicting their fears on paper, the kid will quickly learn to distinguish fantasy from reality.
