Abstract

According to recent research findings, the social anxiety suffered by adults is acquired from the (later disappeared) horror experiences of childhood. The fears experienced in childhood may be reproduced when a person is weakened by illness or when attacked by new and severe traumatic factors. Therefore, understanding the causes of socially fearful behaviour in young children and having the means to correct it is not only necessary to ensure that children grow up physically and mentally healthy, but also to ensure that a person is shaped to have a healthy personality. Given that social anxiety in children is highly embedded and its causes are complex, this review aims to summarize the latest and most effective interventions. Through the review of relevant literature, three kinds of intervention methods for children’s social anxiety are summarized, namely painting art therapy, systematic desensitization therapy, and sandplay therapy. By presenting the principles, cases, and effects, it is hoped that society will gain some awareness of children’s social anxiety problems and provide parents and teachers with ideas for interventions to help children grow up healthily.
