As life gets fast and furious, it’s hard to be anintroversive
person. However, parents who have introverted children shouldn’t be so worried
because, if you take care of them rightly, you can totally help them be
successful.
1.
Respect children
You need to accept your children “true colors”, put trust in
and respect them. As long as they are in the right environment, children who
are introverted still be able to become good, caring and interesting companions.
Respect children
and help foster their dreams.
2.
It may be hard at the beginning, but you have to start doing.
If your children are afraid of trying new things or meeting
new people, make a chance for them to get used to the things. Don’t leave them
as outsiders but respect their limit even though they’re just being negative.
Stand by your children when they take part in activities that they’re afraid
of. When children have to face social problem, tell them that you always
appreciate their efforts: “I see you play with new friends today. I know it’s
hard for you to do so, but it makes me proud of you.” When children feel
uncomfortable about things that they don’t like or feel fear of, explain to
them how wonderful and harmless the things really are. In the end, children
will succeed in controlling their emotions and their fears.
3.
Avoid criticizing
You should help
your children feel good about themselves.
If your children are shy ones, never make any comments like
“my child is very shy” in front of them. As you do that, your children will
consider the tension and anxiety as inherent characters of them, not emotions
that they can learn to control. Children already know that shyness is not
appreciated in our society. When people talk about your children’s shyness in
front of them or are about to, you should say things like: “she/he just wants
to spend time discovering the world”.
4.
Do not force your children to do anything
If you’re introverted, don’t apply your past on your
children. Your introversion may cause you miseries in the old days. However, it
doesn’t mean that the introversion will do the same thing to your children or
your children can’t deal with their problems. Introverted children can solve problems
and get improved. The only thing you can do to make your children happy is to
let them live with their positive character, believe that those characters can
help children improve and give children skills to cope with challenges that
come in the future.
5.
Water your orchids
Some children are
like orchids: they can get withered easily.
If your children are sensitive – sensitive to lights,
sounds, experiences or new situations, they are ‘orchid’. According to
researches, most children are like dandelions, which means they can develop
their potentials in any environment. There’re children who are like orchids:
they can get withered easily. Nonetheless, if orchids are fostered in the right
environment, they can grow even better than dandelions. If ‘orchid children’
are raised well, they will be healthy kids with good grades and sane
relationships.
6.
Foster the passions
Introverted children often have great potential in pursuing
their passions. You should take notice of their passions and foster them.
Having a commitment with one activity is one way to happiness. When your
children’s talents are developed and recognized, the children will be much more
confident. The common activities like football, playing piano can be good for
some children. However, you should consider other activities. Your children can
find their passions in writing or creating things. Therefore, go with your
children wish.
