Some children may be more naturally outgoing than others. I have learned that shyness or inhibition is influenced by genetic and environmental influences. However, mommies/parents/caregivers, I believed that this temperament is not necessarily permanent and does not necessarily determine a child’s personality when she grows up. In fact, these traits can be influenced by time and life experiences. Our daughter is fun to be with. At first, she is a bit shy, but when she feels that you are a good friend to her, she will like you, and she will play with you just like most children.
There are many ways to help a child to overcome shyness. But first, you have to look into why your daughter is too shy for her age. Go back to your earliest recollection of your childhood journey. Were you or your husband shy when you were your daughter’s age? Are either of you shy even up to now? Remember that you are your child’s social model. Your responses and interaction with other people is your child’s first social template. So, do better for her what you have not accomplished or done when you were still young. Imagine how you like her to be, start from there, and do great with her own pace. Good luck mommy! :)
It is normal for today’s mom to be proud of whatever development their children are having. That’s why pictures of firsts like first-step, first-grip, and first-immunization-day photos can fill up their social networking accounts. There’s nothing bad about it but some parents would rather choose to keep their children’s profile offline for some very important reasons.
These parents decided to keep it because they don’t want to place their children’s information for possible cyber-bullying acts. It believed that what has been posted online can never be kept private even with the presence of privacy options. These parents would want to involve their children with this kind of activity online but would then let them decide when the right time comes.
When these children will know how to operate gadgets or with parental guidance would finally know how to have their online accounts but not social networking because basically it is not allowed when a child is below 18 years old as per Facebook Rules and Guidelines (by the way Facebook is the leading social networking site nowadays), when they're already 18, then that’s the time that could decide to share their photos online.
One of the important developmental tasks of the kids, is acquiring the preliminary training and experience needed to become a better one. The foundations for socialization are laid as a number of contacts young children have with their peers increases each passing year. Not only do they play more with other but also talk more with them. Thru playing, children socialized with their peer and if young children enjoy their contacts with others, even if they are only occasional, their attitudes toward future social contacts will be more favorable. And thru playing with their peers also give confident to have contacts with others. And as we all know, being at this stage pass through once in a life time. They will never be a kid anymore after this developmental stage of our life, so kids need to play this time for enjoyment and also in order to build their trust with other.
