WHY CHILDREN GET TIMID
Children who are shy and timid are often more intelligent than
people know. They are often empathetic and are deeply caring. Too often they
don’t want to bother anyone by speaking out or taking action. Being shy and
timid and being treated as being shy and timid can lead to avoidance of trying,
getting involved, accomplishing things which in turn can lead to a loss of
self-confidence or nothing to build self-confidence upon.
Timid children often have been punished or criticized destructively
for their thoughts, insights, wisdom and actions. They often feel trapped with
lots of awareness and have fear of taking action. Often they have no one to
listen to their thoughts and fears. Such children need much support and
encouragement as well as experiences that give them self-confidence.
Being timid can also be caused and complicated by: a combination
of family patterns; perceptual difficulties; nutritional imbalances; exposure
to environmental pollutants as well as unresolved shock, trauma, or abuses of
all kinds.
Timid children tend to grow into timid youth and then adults. Let
us be mindful of our actions towards our children since they affect them for a
lifetime.
