Shyness
Does your baby burst out crying every time there are visitors?
Does she hide whenever someone tries to talk to her?
Even though you think it’s rude to your guests, once she starts crying she doesn’t stop . . . What to do?
It’s OK!
Shyness means that your baby has learned to distinguish between her family and unfamiliar people. It’s a healthy part of her development! Just wait until she outgrows her shyness. Isn’t she cute even when she is crying? That face means she is relying on Mama!
When your baby cries
Hold her tightly- Don’t force her to look at visitors.
- If you can, take her to another room to change her mood.
The most important thing is Mama and Papa’s love!
Your relationship with your child is the most important thing. When you are together, it’s important to smile at your child, look at her, hug her, talk to her, and let her experience the joy of spending time together.
Your child’s deep, trusting relationship with her father and mother will be her foundation for building good relationships in life.
Be affectionate!
You have to be outgoing too!
Shyness varies from person to person. Some of it may be your child’s personality. But it’s also important for your child to get used to meeting people by seeing her father and mother go out to lots of places and talk to lots of people. Reasoning won’t get you anywhere. The most important thing is to go to lots of places where you can interact with people. Start with the houses of friends and relatives.
