All sorts of fears are constant companions in the life of almost every person. And they can significantly spoil it. A person begins to fear even in early childhood. Everything begins with fear of strangers, then there is fear associated with the hospital. Fears develop with the child, along with the development of his thinking and imagination.
Own fantasies become mixed with impressions received through television or other media. If you do not pay attention to it, then any fear sooner or later can develop into pathology. In order that this does not happen, you need all the strength to put on the upbringing of the child's courage.
Cure for fear
In no case is it necessary to tease the child with a "coward". On the contrary, it is necessary to make it as clear as possible to him to understand that it is normal to be afraid. The only thing he needs is to start with fear to fight. Also, the child should be sure that parents in this struggle will provide him with all possible assistance. The best cure for fear is laughter. The baby needs to be taught to laugh at his fears. You can try to compose a funny tale, which tells how the child learned not to be afraid of dogs or scary monsters from the cartoon. If you give it all in a funny way, then soon it will simply stop them from being afraid.
Errors in education
Often a cowardly child grows up in a family where there is no inner harmony. He can develop constant internal anxiety, if the parents often quarrel or if there are prevailing situations when one parent allows something, while the other at the same time forbids it. If this happens in the family, the baby grows shy, irritable and nervous. But as soon as relations in the family are adjusted, confidence in the child immediately returns.
Raising Courage: Do not compare
Putting the child as an example of other children is the most important mistake of parents. Inferiority complex in this case is provided. It is a mistake to assume that if a child is told about the brave deeds of other children, he will stop being afraid, it is not. He will only close in himself, so that later he does not look like his parents in the same way as others. Also, one should not confuse natural caution with cowardice, it is possible to cultivate fearfulness, which initially may not have existed at all.
Excessive custody
Cowardice and fearfulness, lack of courage in the child - all this can be due to the constant care of the baby. It happens that parents do not give the baby to the kindergarten, they do not give the opportunity to approach the animals. As a result, when he has to go to the first class, he turns out to be completely unsuited to the world around him and opens it for himself for the first time. As a rule, much of it frightens these discoveries. If there is no desire to give the child to a kindergarten, then it is necessary to conduct with him in another way the process of getting to know the world around him.
In conclusion, we can say that, despite the huge number of fears, every child has his own achievements, for which he must constantly be praised. For example, if he is not afraid to stand under a cold shower or can easily jump over a ditch. By the way, physical education for education of courage is simply necessary. Here, not only courage will be brought up in the attainment of some results, but also the ability to preserve dignity will be brought up in the event that a defeat occurs. In life, it is very important to be able not to lose heart in trouble. And the sport, among other things, educates in man the need not to give up, but to constantly fight and achieve new results.
