Encourage Children Shy So confident

 WHAT would you do if you have kids who are very shy? A boy who was uncomfortable when her friends involved a simple conversation, or a daughter who was staring at the ground when introduced to someone.

Limiting the shy children to new experiences of social risk is big enough for its development. He will not have confidence in social situations. Even make new friendships environment feels like a scary story.

As parents, we can help children feel more comfortable in a group with increased while practicing social skills. Here are some solutions like Galtime reviewed.


Encourage eye contact


When you're talking to your child say, "Look Mama" or "I want to see your eyes." By strengthening the conscious ability and giving examples on a regular basis, it would seem easy for children to use eye contact.

Tip, if your child is not comfortable making eye contact, tell him to see the "bridge" from the speaker's nose. With a little practice, she usually no longer require engineering, and ultimately more confident the other person's eyes.


Teach conversational opening and closing


Together with your child, make a list of easy conversation opener he used with groups of different people, like what can he say to someone who has known, an adult who has never met, or a child who wants to play with him. Then practice with him until he feels comfortable and tried in its own way.

It is better to train him not to talk to people on the other end. Because usually, talking on the phone less practice the skills for shy children rather than doing it face to face.


Practice the skills with younger children

Create opportunities for your child to play with a younger child, eg brother, cousin, neighbor, or one of your children's friends. For teens, try to encourage him to keep the baby. This is a great way for a shy child to get money and practicing social skills, start a conversation, use eye contact, that he was reluctant to try with children his age.


Set the challenge One-on-One

Dr. Fred Frankel, a psychologist at the UCLA Social Skill Training Programme suggests, "the game one-on-one" (One-on-One) as the best way for children to build self-confidence. It is a time when your child invites only one other child to socialize with each other.

To make them comfortable, provide food and soft drinks. Try to interrupt their conversation to a minimum. Note, siblings should not be included in this challenge and watching television should not be an option play.
