Confidence can be challenging. Some children might have natural confidence, while others might need an extra boost from parents and teachers. Self-confidence doesn't come from a lot of praise, but from accomplishments, effort and attitude. As adults, we must help children build confidence in themselves and their abilities, as it is the key to their success inside and outside the classroom
WHY IS BUILDING CONFIDENCE IMPORTANT?
Simply put, self-confidence will improve motivation, increase resilience and develop self-esteem in kids. Children with high self-confidence believe in themselves and their ability to achieve their goals and find the will and desire to complete them. With time, your child’s confidence will grow, along with the incentive to stay on track. As a parent, try to remind your child of their accomplishments to boost their confidence and remind them of what they can do. When your child has self-confidence, they will know how to handle challenging situations and deal with failure. As parents, you want them to learn how to face challenges, learn from their mistakes and try again. Confidence will allow your child to maintain a positive mindset, which will help improve their self-esteem.
HOW TO INSTIL SELF-CONFIDENCE IN CHILDREN
Here, we go through the tips and ways you can use to develop confidence in your child.
Model confidence yourself
When your child sees you tackling new tasks enthusiastically, they will be more prepared to do the same. During the process, focus on the positive things instead of the anxiety and they will emulate you, adopting the approach of a more confident person, until they actually become that way themselves.
