My son is overly afraid ?

When you are giving him precautions just be sure that when it isn't something that could cause bodily harm you don’t warn him. Some things kids have to figure out on their own. If he can’t try some things for himself and learn things by experience, chances are that he will always consult you about the ‘what ifs’. I really hope that made a bit of sense.

It is difficult because of course you want to protect you children from everything, but there must be some balance.

You need to show him that things that can be harmful also are functional, and that they are nothing to fear. It doesn’t have to be force fed or anything in that manner, but let him see the purpose of the things he fears. When you tell him not to touch something don’t make it sound life threatening or at all over the top. Just be sure he realizes that it’s something to be aware of.

You care about your son very much I can tell, but you still must not let your apprehension guard him from everything. Some things are best left to learn on one's own.

well the best you can do is make him aware but not afraid.

just sit him down and tell him these things are dangerous but don't be afraid of them. just let him know what to do if there ever is a situation with a knife or fire help him understand. then maybe he won't be so scared because he knows how to handle that sitiation.

still fires & knives are the most pleasant things in the world

regardless of the particular undeniable actuality that my son is in basic terms 2, he sounds a lifeless ringer for your son! I continuously felt like i change into having to make excuses because that he didnt sit down nonetheless and what no longer. All my different buddy's little ones his age were SO diverse. i began studying ADHD and hyperactivity in little ones because that I also didn't want any meds for him down the line. this is what helped us after my study: NO foodstuff dyes - a huge volume of toddlers react this kind even as they have an hypersensitive reaction or intolerance to foodstuff dyes- especially pink 40 & Yellow 5 I provide my son a multi diet daily & fish oil drugs that are meant to help improve the mind even as reducing hyperactive habit. i tried those and interior of two days I had a thoroughly diverse infant, he's a lot a lot less stressful to attend to now, and is gaining knowledge of much better straight away because he pays interest better efficient. yet another threat is to work out if he's gentle to foodstuff preservatives, MSG, nitrates, etc. someone I met had a son like this, instructed me to inspect it, and that i'm SO happy I did- it has replaced our lives! It change into so common too.

I think he may have some anxiety issues...Bring him to a psychologist or have him talk to the one at school. I have anxiety and that just sounds a lot like me. Try that that is all you can do. Oh and tell his doctor.

Train him to use the 'tools'. It will remove the fear. Make it clear that once he know something about it that he's not an expert, and to be using them without your supervision.

Empower the dude with knowledge

tell him dat ur advice is an advice of a mother caring for him, u tell him not to play with knife or fire is just an opinion so he doesnt have 2 b like dat

dint say it like its a bad thing

if that still doesn't work he should see a cycologist

I have a friend whos like that so he went to see a cycologist and now hes much better

Tell him to be careful not to be afraid.

reverse what you want him to do but telling him not to that should work out
