Help, My Child Is An Introvert


According to child therapist Jayashree Nair, it is extremely necessary for parents to ensure that their children voice out their thoughts and opinions from a young age. She says, "Even though schools do encourage children to speak up in class and let their teachers know what they think, I believe parents should also do the same at home. It is only when they start talking and expressing their concerns will they become confident in life."
 
However, if your child is shy or feels intimidated by the thought of opening up, here are a few ways you can make the process easy for him/her.
Know there is nothing unusual about being an introvert
There are many children who find it extremely difficult to open up not only to their teachers and friends at school but also to their parents. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. As a parent, the least you can do is understand what your child is trying to communicate with you without speaking much.

Introduce your child to new people and surroundings gradually
 
Do not rush into anything. Take your time to acclimatise your child to new situations and people. Make sure that you even communicate this with those who are meeting your kid for the first time. You don't want your child growing up feeling awkward and hesitant while meeting others.

Help your child cultivate his/her passion
It is very very important to engage with the child right from an young age. That way not only the child develops, it brings in excellent bonding between the parents and the child too. 
 
The only way a child can start socialising is when he/she moves out of the four walls of the house and makes new friends. This can either happen in school or in hobby classes. Make sure that your child is participating in extra-curricular activities and takes up a hobby. Apart from keeping your child busy through the day, it will also ensure that he/she is mixing around with other kids in the class.

Point out when they starts enjoying what they were initially scared of
To make sure that your child feels confident about himself/herself, point out whenever he/she starts doing something that they were previously scared of. This could be anything — from starting a conversation with a neighbour to playing outdoors with friends.

I am an introvert, and always find it hard to speak out against anything that hurts me. And if you too are facing such a problem, the best thing to do would be writing, especially on the internet. Maintain a blog. Nobody will know who you really are, and you''ll be able to even speak up without an worries. If that sounds a little less satisfying, then maintain a notebook. Write everything that comes to your mind in it, and keep it somewhere secretly if you don''t want anyone to read it.

An introvert just hides his feelings and is not willing to interact with people ....so first of all he needs to be encouraged to get into conversations .Moreover ,parents should not force him into anything ,as he grows up things would change with the hormonal changes and he would learn to master confidence when he has access to more people .This what growing up is all about -learning and taking responsibilities.
