Child’s first big event at school. Your child has been selected to perform a song or dance on stage. But the child is always a thief. Instead of being happy to get such an opportunity, it is rather folded. It is far from agreeing to go on stage, he is reluctant to go to school these days. What to do in such a situation? How to create a mindset suitable for accepting new experiences in the child’s mind?
1. Not all children are the same. Many spontaneously join in the experience of learning something new. But in that crowd there are some kind, quiet children. If your child is such a child, understand that fear is natural. Many parents feel that their children may lag behind others. Instead of understanding him, force him to participate in new activities. This may cause the child to become more introverted. So why is his disinterest in work, that matter must be understood first.
2. Explain to the child why any fear needs to be faced. Tell him, there will be many situations in life, which you do not want to face. It would seem that it is best to avoid it at all costs. The upcoming event may also be avoided in some way. Frankly, avoiding fear without facing it, brings instant peace. But it is built into the mindset of long-term avoidance. It affects all stages of life. Also, don’t forget that if you overcome a fear today, it will grow bigger in the future.
3. Sit with the child and help him understand what can be done to improve performance. Instead of nagging, explain that in some cases the error remains. Help him practice in his free time at home. Give encouragement like a friend in this work. Pleasing you should not be the child’s only goal.
4. Be present with the child on the day of the event. Maybe, after many attempts, his performance was not up to his liking. In that case, try not to express annoyance or frustration as much as possible. Instead, tell the child that you understand that he has poured his hundred percent into this work. Today and in the coming days are by your side in any work. It will increase the morale of the child. Confidence in you will increase.
