- By : Jessica Jiayi W
The way and skills of proper communication between people will directly affect their social life. However, some children are unaware of how to communicate with others correctly and in a friendly way. These children haven’t been correctly guided and helped by their parents. You can probably imagine the consequences.
1. Understand the children’s character and encourage them to socialize
First of all, parents should understand the child’s actual personality. An outgoing child who is out in the sun may find it easier to find ways to communicate with others. However, relatively timid child, without their parents’ encouragement and help, they may find it difficult to communicate with others actively. Therefore, when parents find that their children are timid and introverted, they should encourage children to communicate with others. When they go out, they say hello to their neighbors and uncles and aunts. Maybe the children will start to look red and embarrassed, but slowly they will find that the children have become Confident and generous.
2. Create opportunities for children to communicate with others
Parents should not give up opportunities for proper communication between children and their children at any time. For example, they take the initiative to greet the neighbors with their neighbors in the elevator, invite their colleagues or friends to play at home, go to the park, travel, etc. When children are not used to being in touch with people around them, parents should take the initiative to allow children to integrate into the circle of peers around them and let them learn how to communicate with others. Children can make their own decisions. Adults should not force their children to play with a child or play with a child. They only need to create opportunities for children to communicate, and they find ways to solve problems in communication. Children find their own way. Parents who interfere with the communication won’t be helping their children with their communication skills.
3. Bring children to participate in different activities
Nowadays, the community has a variety of activities. The reason why children in some families do not communicate with people is that they usually see those people at home, they do not have the opportunity to communicate with others, and they do not go to events with others much. Parents should take more children to participate in social activities, meet more people, and learn how to communicate with others by observing how others interact with others.
4. Point out problems in children’s interactions
If there is a problem in children’s association with others, if they have not found out the reasons, parents should remind and point out the problem. After discovering their problems and improving them, children can correctly master the skills of communication and communication, and thus gain friendships. For example, some children are too self-righteous, and self-centered. They may be isolated from other children and they cannot find friends. Some children are introverted. They never talk or play with other children. This is one of the reasons why they cannot find friends.
