Patient's question:
The child has been timid since childhood. Now he is 1 year and 7 months old. He gets upset when watching TV, during windy or snowy weather, and doesn't dare to watch TV or play alone. How can this be stabilized? Can he be less timid? I am a full-time mother, and there are only me and the child at home. When the father comes back for 5 days a month, the situation improves a bit. Is this related? When playing outside, if other children snatch his things, he cries. Or if they take them, he doesn't snatch anything himself.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situations you described, it seems you have placed too many expectations on your child, hoping they would fulfill them as you envision. However, each of us has our own uniqueness, and especially at the age of one, children should be given more interaction and a sense of trust. As they grow older, they will develop their own fine qualities, and it is important to nurture and highlight these strengths. This is the advice for the issue of "a child being shy since childhood, now 1 year and 7 months old." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
