@homelearninghaven: Confidence can be built in any and every child. Granted, in some children it will take more of a conscious effort; you might even have some resistance. But it IS possible and it’s sooo important that every single parent is encouraging their child to be confident. Let’s be honest, being a “shy” child does them zero favours and will only worsen their quality of life as they get older 🤷🏽♀️ #education #school #consciousparenting #parentingtips #gentleparenting
Most important thing is to give them real responsibilities at home. Laundry, cooking, making their room tidy. This will build their self esteem, and hence confidence.

Agree! My son used to see kids playing in a park and ask me “can you ask them if I can play” I would always reply “if you want to play with them you have to go and ask them” now he makes friends everywhere we go!

So I've done this with all of my children from the beginning, the issue i feel we've ran into is other kids. My middle child's is 4 & other kids around his age just don't seem to know how to interact? my son will easily go upto any child/group and ask if they want to play or if he can join in and they will usually just stand there and stare, they won't typically answer back. He gets a better reception from older kids who usually allow him to play with them. Also, how do we help them deal with rejection? when children say 'no' to playing together he's obviously disappointed, at the minute I just say 'hey, they don't want to play with you and that's absolutely fine, either find something else to play with or go and ask another kid' but he's always disappointed and I feel it absolutely does knock his confidence

I tell my son these, but he is still afraid. He has a husky voice so that makes it even worse, when he is sad he is inaudible. He cries so quick, he is 9. I KEEP saying it, stresses me so much

As a mum, I’m learning it’s less about ‘fixing’ shyness and more about supporting them to feel safe enough to come out of their shell in their own time 🤍

This is sooooo important. Some kids aren’t able to defend themselves ending up in trouble for something they didn’t do

Such good tips! Also, when people say your child is shy, be sure to speak up and say they're not. Then encourage them to speak and reward them for it. Also enroll them in activities to explore and meet new people.

I agree with you. But I was shy growing up and not very outspoken. I just did well academically and didn’t mind being by myself. I was never a follower. I always had people wanting to be friends even try to buy me things so I can pay attention to them. I was never bullied.

My 5 yr old son is super shy. I will ask him to order his food, or ask the waiter for ice cream, or ask for a carrier bag etc. But he refuses. He doesn’t even talk to his own friends during pick up or drop off. His friends would say bye he ignores them. He stated swimming recently and the teacher asked him his name he wouldn’t say it. How can I help him to be more confident. He is super super shy. Has 1 friend that he’s obsessed with. I always tell him to play with others or makes friends. If I take him to the park he will only play in areas when it’s empty. If another child comes along he gets off and moves away. How can I help me 😔

When I didn't want to be left at daycare, my mom had the genius trick to tell me I should take care of some other little kid as a way to distract me from my pain. Years later she was still proud, while I am still struggeling to advocate for myself
