All parents want their children to grow up friendly and sociable.
But sometimes you can notice that the child is clearly wary of his peers.
In order to correct this situation, it is necessary to identify the true cause of its occurrence.
Why Children Are Afraid of Their Peers
Low self-esteem
The child feels that he is simply not interesting to other children, so there is no point in even trying to talk to them or make friends. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop adequate self-esteem in the child, as well as to increase his self-confidence.
Family settings
Sometimes parents, without wanting to, "program" their child in a wrong way. If children often hear that only family members can be trusted, and all other people are potential sources of threat, then the child will be afraid to build social connections.
Negative experience
Some children have to go through unpleasant experiences associated with bullying, bad attitudes from peers, or even bullying.
After this, you can really start to fear other people. Working with a psychologist will help restore faith in the best.
