It will soon be Christmas. Schools will have their nativity plays and if your little boy has a part in the play as one of the Three Kings, you'll be shopping for a nativity costume that fits and looks like the real thing. But there is something else you should know, how to teach your child to handle stage fright.

Stage Fright and Little Children Children are adventurous and ready to break their necks but when they are placed on stage to perform, they freeze. This shouldn't happen to your little boy who is going to be one of the Three Kings in his school play but children no matter how outgoing they are can be hit by stage fright. If this fear is not dealt with correctly, the experience can scar them for life. That nativity costume may only scare your child off the stage, but if you play the game right, you can help him get through the experience happily.

Stage fright symptoms include rapid heart rate, muscle tension, dizziness, dry mouth, and insomnia, shortness of breath, frequent urination, and trembling. These symptoms may not occur backstage; these can happen at home after practice or days before the play. If you observe any of these symptoms, talk to your child. Don't push it if the child pleads he does not want to do the role. He may not be ready for the assignment now but in the future he can be a star.

Before you excitedly talk about a particular nativity costume, talk to your child about the play and listen to what he says. He might be anxious about the whole thing. If you sense that he is terrified of being onstage with a hundred pair of eyes on him, don't rush him. In time, if he becomes comfortable with the idea, he might go with it 100%.

How to Help Your Child

Not every little boy gets to be one of the Three Kings, Joseph, or a shepherd in a school nativity play. If yours is selected for a part, you have reason to rejoice. It is his turn to shine onstage! Surely, he must have the best costume you can find without upsetting your budget. Lucky you, there are several stores carrying affordable nativity outfits and accessories. All you have to do is browse the different offerings online and compare prices - you might catch some costume clearance sales too.

Back to your child -- as the practice goes along and your child masters their lines, their confidence grows. Don't nag him to memorize his lines but ask him to act out the scene for you BUT don't overdo this as the child may become too dependent on you. You don't want him searching the audience for you before he says his lines. Remind him that even if he can't spot you right away Mom and Dad will surely be there rooting for him. It also helps to have children around at home and have their nativity play as part of their games. This can boost your child's confidence. You can also tell him about your stage fright and how you overcame it.

To sweeten the pot, let your child choose his costume. But if a child does not want to be in the play, respect his decision, after all, he is only a child. There is still time to show off your little stars acting ability wearing a Three Kings costume or one of the many other nativity costumes in future plays. * *
