Some children suffer from psychological issues that may not be obvious but have a deep effect on their social behavior. Among these issues are anxiety, extreme shyness, low self-esteem, or exposure to bullying. These emotions may lead the child to withdraw from their surroundings and avoid playing or talking with peers.
Social isolation in children is not just about being quiet or sitting alone — it is a silent call for help. Ignoring these signs can worsen the condition, possibly leading to depression or difficulty in learning and forming future relationships.
It is important for parents and teachers to observe any changes in the child’s behavior, offer emotional support and kindness, and encourage them to express their feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
