How to Build Self Confidence in a Child

Posted by Setiadi On 11:40 PM No comments

Your child's mental health and social success depend on her self-confidence, according to AskDrSears.com. What you do now, to build your child's self-confidence, will last a lifetime. This is important because there is a connection between how we feel about ourselves and how we act. If your child is confident, she will likely be happier and more adept in social situations. If you have influence over a child, you can positively impact her self-confidence and help shape her into the person she will ultimately become.

Instructions

    1 Teach your child, from infancy if possible, that he can trust and rely upon you to meet his needs. When he cries, respond by taking care of him as quickly as possible. This will help him realize a sense of self-worth because his caregiver responds to his needs. A child who cries and doesn't get a predictable response, most of the time, will become disheartened and have diminished self-worth.
    2 Praise your child for her daily accomplishments, no matter how small. If she behaves appropriately on an outing, tell her you noticed and how pleased you are. If she picks up her trash and throws it away without being asked, thank her for doing her part to keep things clean. The more you praise your child for her actions, the more confident she will become.
    3 Follow your child's lead when it comes to play. Carve out time each day to play with your child. Allow him to choose what to do, and participate. This will help him gain self-confidence, because he believes you like to do something that he enjoys. Even if you find the activity tiresome, participate with enthusiasm and interject your own variations as you play to create interest.
    4 Address your child by her name and teach her to address others by name. Children with higher self-confidence frequently address their peers or elders by name or title, according to AskDrSears.com.
    5 Avoid labeling your child due to his habits. Labeling a child as "lazy" or "sloppy" can set the stage for your child to believe that's who she is. This diminishes self-confidence. Instead of labeling, teach your child ways to combat bad habits.
    6 Give your child responsibilities in which he can realize success. Think of an age-appropriate task you can assign to him that he can complete without your help. This will aid him in realizing that he is capable of accomplishing things on his own. Make sure to praise him for a job well done, each time.
    7 Listen to your child. Encourage her to express her feelings to you. Do not judge. Instead, offer helpful alternatives for a problem she is having, so she will have the confidence to attempt to solve it on her own.
