Don't frighten the children.
When adults see a child crying, they scare the child to say "the big tiger is coming" and "the wild cat hears your crying"; Or "the father who thunders in the sky will kill you when he hears it": sometimes he drags the child into a dark room. In this way, children are afraid when they hear "animals coming", cry when they hear thunder, and are afraid when they go to dark places. Therefore, you can't scare children, otherwise they will be timid.
♀? Don't care too much.
Once children are afraid and timid about something, adults should never go too far. We should be indifferent, ignore children's fears and encourage them to be brave in the face of what they are afraid of.
explain the cause (of)
Some children are afraid of lightning and thunder. We can tell them something about "thunder and lightning" and personify when we speak, saying that Grandpa Lei is playing drums and Grandma Yu is watering. Some children are afraid of kittens. We can teach them to read Xiaohua Mall's nursery rhymes, tell stories about cats catching mice, and eliminate children's blind fears. When children know the reasons of some things and phenomena, their courage will increase.
Take advantage of the role of antagonistic conditions
Put some stimuli that can cause timid emotional response and happy activities at the same time, and use the positive emotions generated by happy activities to overcome the negative reactions caused by fear of stimuli. If children are afraid of cats, we will use food as a pleasant stimulus. Whenever we give our children something delicious, we will let the kitten into the house, start being locked in a cage and then let it out. Adults will deliberately feed small fish to kittens and pat them, and children will gradually become less afraid.
Adult role models and intensive training
If children are afraid of the dark, adults should take them back and forth in the darkroom several times. Children should also be encouraged to get things alone in the dark: verbal praise or material rewards should be given after each completion, and more affirmation and praise should be given to children's brave and bold behavior. Adults should set an example for their children. Strengthen the training of children, then the shortcomings of children's timidity will be corrected.
