Why a child grows up "quieter": parents were shown their mistakes

They say that evil spirits live in still waters. If you translate this truth into human relations, you get a person who is avoided, and he himself is in no hurry to get to know others.
The first signs appear in childhood, when the child grows “quieter”.
Experts believe that adults and parenting mistakes are to blame for this.
Here are some tips that will help you change the situation in a timely manner.
Don't interfere with growing up
A child must learn to cope with difficulties on his own as best he can. Overprotection and excessive care only prevent him from making decisions independently and being responsible for his actions.
Unrealistic demands
There is no need to idealize the child or make excessive demands. Otherwise, pessimism or unhealthy optimism are guaranteed. Both lead to disappointment.
Don't compare with others
This can deprive the child of the opportunity to form his own opinion about his abilities and level of knowledge. In other words, a person with low self-esteem will grow up.
Don't forbid yourself to be yourself
It is important that children do not hesitate to ask questions, express their opinions, comment, and so on.
Remember that quiet children grow up in authoritarian families. Their parents often suffer from anxious and depressive thoughts themselves.
For reference
A child is, in its basic meaning, a person during childhood, and in general, a person from birth to the end of puberty.
