Real Mom Tips

All adults who have been extremely shy when they were kids do not want their children to be shy and miss at on childhood. Shy kids tend to stay next to the teacher during playtime and miss out all the fun and games.

If we wouldn’t help our children overcome shyness when they are young, it would be complex for them to integrate with others when they grow leading to a poor social life. Shy children tend to run around and play with their brothers and sisters but the minute they will be left alone with other children, they will be too shy to speak or play with them.

People will tell you that they grow out of it but worried parents will start thinking when will this be happening and what will happen if they don’t – would they struggle to make friends? would they miss out on school concerts and activities? Shy child will miss out so much fun.

To help them overcome shyness whenever they have a school concert coming let them practice at home. Be their audience, point the lamps to create spotlights, close the curtains so the room would be dark just as if they are doing their school concert. Pretend to be their audience and let them sing or practice their part. Clap for them and cheer when they are ready. Explain to them that only parents will be there and that no one will judge them or laugh. Tell them that you’re going to be there for them to see them and with a little bit of practice and encouragement they will do their part.

Encourage your child to take part in activities and to take participate in the class. They can only follow by practice and example and it will take time to overcome shyness but with your support your child will be happily making new friends to play with.
