Having your preschool child regularly meet other children is a way you can combat shyness in a child. Regularly schedule other children to come and play, and introduce your child to guests who visit your home. Learning to meet new people is an important part of both personal and emotional development and will help them greatly when they begin kindergarten. A child who rarely interacts with other children will be set back in their development and might experience more separation anxiety when they begin school.
Teaching a child her own name is an important step in her personal development. Similarly, teaching a child the name of his parents is important in case of emergency. A name is the first step in developing a personal identity. Host a tea party for your child and his teddy bears, and ask him to introduce himself to all of his teddy bears. After this, he can introduce you to all of his teddy bears. This will make him comfortable with his own name, as well as his with his parents' names.
Write a love list with your child in which you can write down the activities that you enjoy doing together. This will encourage the child to engage with his emotional side and think closely about his emotions. Writing a love list will also give an indication about the things that a child enjoys, which will help you to shape his development. For example, if your child has brothers or sisters, he might enjoy one-on-one time. This will help you spend quality time with your child.
A joy multiplier is someone who responds well to good news. If your child comes to you with good news, take some time to reward them and verbally congratulate them. This will help reinforce positive behavior. An activity you can do together is making a poster or a medal to celebrate your child's achievement. Rewarding good behavior and achievement will encourage them to repeat this achievement, which will help them learn the optimal way to act.
