Supporting your child who worries in social situations
Many children can be described as “shy”. Often, what this can mean is that they are very sensitive to their environment and can easily feel overwhelmed; perhaps they are introverted, meaning that they need quiet time away from people to renew their energy; or maybe they get so absorbed in their play and ideas that they aren’t so interested in interacting with others.
How can parents and carers help?
Firstly, try to avoid labelling your child as “shy”, as they may think there is something wrong with them. Instead, be sure to stay sensitive to their needs and empathise with what they are finding difficult.
You can point out that they are able to overcome their fears: take the time to coach them on how to make friends and how to express their needs to others.
Let them know that it is normal for everyone to feel a little uncomfortable when they first meet someone or walk into a room full of people and brainstorm together ways that they can overcome their worries in these situations.
Remember to empower your child and avoid being over-protective. Instead, after validating their feelings, let them know that they are capable of doing hard things.
Sometimes we could all do with someone to talk to.
If you would like to meet Araminta for a confidential and non-judgemental chat about you, your child, or any other worries, she is available on Thursday 9-10am. You can call/text Araminta on 07368-365723
