A situation often arises when a child begins to be afraid of other children.
This problem can arise at the age of 20 months to 5 years - at first it is just shyness, and then outright fear.
As the child grows older, he will learn to cope with anxiety and will try to adapt to society.
But sometimes he needs help and it is better to look for a solution to the problem from an early age.
How to help a child cope with fear
Here are some tips from psychologists.
- Give him a chance to adapt. Try just watching him on the playground. Try talking to him so he knows he's safe.
- Working with emotions through games. Take a toy and tell her if she is afraid when she communicates with others, and draw conclusions from the communication.
- Simple conversation and discussions. Ask how the child communicates with others and whether he finds a common language with them.
