Shyness (shyness or shyness) is a state of the child's psyche characterized by stiffness, indecision, tension and self-doubt. Such conditions are most often observed in children aged 4-6 years as a short-term phenomenon.

Step 1
The main reasons for the manifestation of such conditions can be the baby's lack of confidence in himself. It is because of this feeling that the baby feels insecure in the presence of strangers, sometimes even experiencing panic attacks. Also, the reason for shyness in children may be a lack or lack of skills in human relationships. In this case, kids try to hide their fear and discomfort behind cheeky, overly active and assertive behavior.
Step 2
The main way of both struggle and prevention of shyness and shyness in children is to build self-confidence in the child. Creating a supportive atmosphere in the house, a feeling of care and warmth will also help your baby not to be so afraid of the outside world.
Step 3
The best way to build self-confidence and self-confidence is through challenging tasks. Difficult but doable. Help your child go through all the tests and reach the end. Do not scold him for his mistakes, on the contrary, instill in him the idea that it is impossible to do everything right and that everyone is wrong.
Step 4
Never scold him for his personal qualities, and even more so, do not discuss with the child with those around him the misdeeds and oversights, do not make fun of his weaknesses. On the contrary, find a strong side in the baby and help him develop it so that it gets an approving assessment from the outside.
Step 5
Adequate self-esteem and a sense of self-worth will also never allow a child to become timid. Low self-esteem, feelings of insignificance and shyness are closely related and mutually complementary. Children with low self-esteem are most susceptible to criticism and experience it for a very long time inside themselves, and the child should be comfortable alone with himself.
Step 6
The development of an active life position in children will protect them from all manifestations of timidity and shyness. Inaction breeds shyness. It is necessary to try to change the child's model of behavior, and not his personality and character. Try to isolate him from various anxieties and stresses: the baby's clothes and hairstyle should not be a reason for ridicule. However, try to avoid social isolation: let the child have access to information so that he can support any conversation.
