Social Anxiety is something the majority of children go through
during their early years. Often this epidemic issue is perceived as a shy
factor in children but this virtually non-existing phobia of immense fear and
terror can completely absorb your child as soon as they grow up into adults.
Feeling anxious is plain normal on concrete grounds of social anxiety when your child gets agitated at the thought of facing anybody. Such children mostly create a warzone like a scenario within themselves. Their conscience almost fades away midst the turmoil of social situations.
Children going through anxiety and uneasiness often repel
from regaining their inner light. They majorly face ‘denial of acceptance’ from
the world and it is not easy to bring colours to their lives. Being a parent,
it becomes their prime goal to cheer up their children to face social
situations no matter what the situation is. It takes a lot of courage, patience
and acceptance for the parent too in order to restore light in their life.
Understand
their issues
Instead of shouting and pushing your children beyond their capabilities
start accepting and understanding their situations apparently. It is evident
that no parent wants to see their children suffering and victimized while
they’re dealing with an excessive fear of being judged, embarrassed and poorly
treated. Instead of ridiculing them and pressurising your children, simply
start accepting the way they start the process slowly.
Understand that this disorder can originate out of their
childhood history of social inhibition or out of regular shyness. This can also
emerge by certain traumatic events which also include constant bullying.
Be your child’s greatest alley
Parent’s love, support and acceptance are what a child
suffering through social disorder craves for. This largely impacts on
children’s ability to flourish. Try becoming a friend to your child and
discussing solutions for problems they’re trapped in rather than setting
limitations to them during the phase of phobia. This friendship is mandatory
since it helps a lot in child development encompassing all the power in a
relationship. Support your child and enable solutions by showing constant
kindness to enhance their decision-making skills. Have trust and faith in your
child and understand the nature of the disease in order to treat it.
Help your child overcome
Ask your child to sit back, relax and yield peace within him
first. This helps a lot in transforming a person since inner peace is the treatment
of all outer problems. Help them understand the basics of meditation to approach
calmness and serenity to heal emotionally. Teach your child to focus on the
brighter side of life and help him to be resilient. Cognitive reframing and
communication is the remedy for your child’s phobia and it helps a lot in
empowering them and moving on.
