Silenced Voices of Childhood: Low Self-Esteem, Social Anxiety, Loneliness, and Isolation... How Much Do Parents Understand the Reasons Behind the "Quiet"?

by Chen Ying-ru, Zhao Huaxia (Editor-in-Chief)

As a parent, do you have these worries?

No matter what you ask, they refuse to speak,

finally offering only an awkward yet polite smile;

You want to see them mingle with other children,

but they say everyone looks so scary...

Could it be autism? What will happen when they grow up?

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the behavioral characteristics and causes of introverted children from different perspectives,

leading parents and those silent children on a journey of spiritual communication!

▎Unable to speak, they are more afraid than you are

Often parents are anxious while the child keeps their mouth tightly shut.

Despite racking your brain to get the child to open their "precious mouth," they remain unmoved.

"Oh my god! My child is so rude!" — Is that what you think?

Actually, it's just like how adults occasionally "read but don't reply."

They just don't know how to say it; they have already rehearsed the dialogue in their minds countless times.

Children may miss many social opportunities due to introversion, or even be mistaken for being arrogant or indifferent.

Parents should listen carefully to their child's inner voice and try to help them take the first step in socializing.

▎Is the child's fear of speaking the parents' fault?

Some silent children always seem unhappy, which has a lot to do with the family atmosphere.

"You're always so sloppy," "You're so lazy," "You're such an idiot."

If parents often criticize their children like this without understanding the reasons behind their mistakes,

it will wear down their self-esteem and self-confidence over time, making them unwilling to socialize with classmates.

Have you ever mindlessly applied these "negative labels" to your child?

Follow this book to find educational mistakes and progress together with your child!

▎Your child needs to be weaned — overcoming dependence

Sometimes a child's silence is not due to introversion or shyness, but a lack of independence.

At home, parents are always worried the child won't do things well, so they do everything for them.

Over time, the child develops a dependency and cannot take the initiative to talk to classmates at school.

Start with small things in life and let the child learn to "do it themselves."

Asking questions themselves, buying things themselves—from then on, socializing will no longer be difficult!
