Many children are quite shy and indecisive.

Sometimes innate character traits make themselves known.

Often the problem is explained by the fact that the child was once punished for being overly active.

You can help a boy or a girl in any case. The child will become more courageous and proactive if parents make small changes to their upbringing strategy.

Don't punish your child often

Fear of punishment is one of the common reasons for a child's indecisiveness.

The child becomes uninitiative because he is afraid that he will be punished for making a mistake or for interfering with adults.

If the baby is shy, then frequent punishments will do him great harm.

It is important to understand that a child with such a character is already aware of many of his mistakes. If you scold him, the situation will worsen. The child will become more withdrawn.

Parents must convince the child that he can act boldly.

Don't demand a mandatory result from the baby

"Learn to draw, otherwise...", "Get only good grades, otherwise...", "If you fail, it will be a disaster"...

These and similar phrases should not be heard from the lips of parents.

Perhaps the child already has motivation. And additional pressure will become a negative factor and a source of fear.

Allow them to make decisions on their own

If a child is used to the fact that his parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents always make choices for him, then there is nothing good about this.

Let the baby get used to taking responsibility on his own. Yes, it will be hard at first. But then the boy or girl will learn to act independently and evaluate all the pros and cons of a particular decision in advance.
