How to help our little ones to speak in public
An exhibition in class, a representation at school, an oral exam … and your child is afraid to speak in public. What can we do in these cases? There are many moments when children must talk to a group of people.In many cases, they panic: they stay blank, stutter, blocked, begin to breathe agitatedly, they get red. What a trauma can suppose every time they have to direct a group of people. These traumas can remain with the child during their growth, their adolescence and even when it is already an adult. There are many adults who are not able to establish conversation or express themselves when there is a bulky number of people around.
In schools they do not usually teach how to deal with these types of problems and that is why we leave you a series of tips that you can put into practice at home so that your child is not afraid to speak in public. Do not answer for him. Very important not to answer for them when they ask them. It is very normal that when someone little known is directed directly to the child, he does not answer. We usually say that it is shameful and we answer for him, but this should not be so. We must let the child respond and express himself, even if he will respond or cost him. So we will help your child lose the fear of speaking in public. Another way to help children lose fear is to teach simple breathing techniques. That is, they learn to inspire and exhale to know. Use games that you have to express. Join the game with the expression.
These two factors together will help your child lose their fear of speaking in public. One of the games I could help you most is the theatrical representation, choose a children’s story that you like and represent it by giving it the main role. Another type of games can also be musical performances or play with puppets that he has to direct and talk. Reciting poetry is a good way to help them, at the same time you are making them exercise memory when retaining the verses and express themselves when it comes to reciting it.
These representations, regardless of whether they are, it is convenient for them to make them in front of the more people the better. If, for example, you have a family meal shortly, take the opportunity to prepare a theater with it and represent it in front of the family. Thus, the fear of speaking in public will decrease if the child sees that there are many people. Scripture as a method of ideas of ideas that words come out of the mouth, first are thought and structured inside, in thought.
Therefore, that the child takes ease in writing and writes normally will make his ideas more structured. You will be making memory and thought again being able to structure and link ideas. A very good idea is to invent the title of a story and from there that the child generates a story, with his characters and his narrative. If you write daily a fragment of history will be structuring ideas as well as keeping the thread of a story while having fun letting the imagination fly. Always support it and encourage. Transmit confidence.
It is the greatest support that you can give at the time you have to face in public. Always encourage him during the exhibition if you are in front and applaud him at the end, highlighting at all times how well he has done and how capable it is. With this the child will gain confidence and security, the two key aspects to lose fear. That is why it is important, as we said previously, the representations in front of the family or friends, so that I see a group of large people supporting it at the same time and not feeling that it can be doing it wrong.
