- Avoid These Mistakes When Supporting Your Child’s Social Anxiety! 🛑
Here are some crucial insights on what not to do when your child experiences social anxiety 👇
1️⃣ Refrain from labeling your child as “shy.” Labels can be limiting and may contribute to feelings of inadequacy. Instead, acknowledge their feelings without attaching a permanent identity.
2️⃣ Criticising or using negative language around their anxiety can exacerbate their distress. Avoid phrases like “Why are you acting like that?” or “This isn’t respectful.” Opt for supportive and empathetic language to validate their emotions.
3️⃣ It’s crucial not to force your child into social situations or pressure them to stay in uncomfortable spaces. Respect their boundaries and provide gentle encouragement and support as they navigate their anxiety.
By avoiding these common things, you can create a nurturing environment where your child feels understood, seen, and empowered.
