We often complain about our children’s lack of self-confidence, and we sometimes envy others’ dashing on stage. Forgive me for not knowing that children’s lack of self-confidence is often a result of us adults not cultivating it. For example, we once promised our children a certain promise, and we did not do it because of work or things or friends, the child in the mind that he is not as important as our things or friends, the child feels that he is not loved, so the child gradually become inferior and no self-confidence. The following 28 ways can make your child confident from an early age: 1. Take your baby’s requests seriously Often ignoring your baby’s needs will cause him to lose confidence because he is not valued. When he asks expectantly on the phone, “Mommy, milk.” You can’t satisfy him for a while outside, tell him the exact time: “When you get home, mommy will get it for you, okay?” Give your child the opportunity to make his own choices. Take your baby on a weekend trip and ask his opinion, but don’t ask, “Where do you want to go?” Instead, ask, “Do you want to go to the zoo or the aquarium?” Giving him a range of options and letting him make his own choices will add to his confidence in himself. 3. Don’t laugh at your baby for saying the wrong thing When your baby is just learning to speak and pronounces words inaccurately. Don’t laugh at him or deliberately emphasize it at that time, teach him at another time. During your baby’s language learning period, your ridicule will make him lose his confidence and interest in learning language. Take your baby’s questions seriously. Listen patiently when your baby asks a question, and if you can’t answer, tell him honestly. Let him know that there is something that no one can do and dispel his fear of others, thus increasing his confidence. Use a consultative tone to ask your baby to do what he can do, for example, “Can you bring the newspaper to mommy?” Let your child know that being needed is the best way to improve his self-confidence. Give your baby a space to display his work. Let your baby post his doodles on the most prominent wall in your home; make a display for your baby on a cabinet to display his small creations. A sense of honor is the best way to inspire your child’s self-confidence. 7. Give your baby a territory of his own Give your baby a room, no conditions can give him a part of the room, so that he has a free play, unrestricted little world. Because having his own “territory” to fill his heart with a sense of pride, which will add to his confidence. 8. His tolerance is the soil to develop baby’s confidence Do not always scold your baby for the mess in his room or on the table, but teach him to clean up his own scattered toys and do it with him. 9. Don’t compare your child with others Don’t say to your baby, “Your sister can already count and you still can’t, you’re so stupid!” Even if he is really worse than the other children. Always compare him with children who are better than him, it will most likely defeat the child’s self-confidence. 10. Let your baby be the boss once in a while Take your baby to the supermarket, hand him the pending payment and let him give it to the cashier. He can’t count yet, but at least let him know that money can buy things. Gradually let your child take charge of his own pocket money and let him be the family, it will increase his self-confidence in life. 11. Let your baby choose his own clothes Buy clothes for your baby and let him pick his own colors and styles. Maybe you don’t like the colors he chooses, but don’t dismiss his vision. The child’s opinion is respected is the beginning of his confidence. 12. Watch his favorite cartoons with your child Watch his favorite cartoons with your child, discuss his favorite characters and lines with him, and show interest in his point of view. Getting along and communicating as equals is a stepping stone to giving him confidence. 13. Let your baby do something that he can do Let your baby wash his little socks and handkerchiefs independently, even if they are not clean. Your child’s confidence comes from your recognition of him in every little thing. 14. Encourage your baby to perform his specialty When your baby performs reciting poems, telling stories and singing songs, give him a clap to show that you agree with him. By exercising his courage to perform on stage, you are exercising his self-confidence. 15. Let your baby play with peers more often Let your baby approach strange children and actively encourage him to interact freely with people of all ages. Cultivating his social skills is in fact cultivating his self-confidence. 16. Help your baby make a detailed plan and remind him to carry it out. For example, help your baby make a plan for practicing the piano and negotiate the time with him when making the plan. Remind him to do it: “Baby, we should practice now, right?” Get him into the habit of doing things according to the plan. Do things with a clear mind, so that you can be confident in doing them. 17. baby play with cola bottles, shoeboxes and other kinds of waste, do not arbitrarily stop him Children like to explore what he is interested in, you stop his interest, you also frustrate his confidence to explore. If your child encounters difficulties when playing games, let him or her solve them on their own. If your child encounters difficulties when putting together a jigsaw puzzle, encourage him or her to think of ways to solve these difficulties on their own. If you can’t figure out how to do it, you can give him some side guidance. Overcoming difficulties will increase your child’s confidence. Be specific when your child makes progress. When spending time with your child, always look for specific reasons to praise him and encourage him with words of approval, but don’t praise him in a hollow way. You can say, “Baby knows how to pee, that’s progress.” Don’t say, “You’re so good, baby,” to praise your child in an empty way. You can say, “Baby knows how to pee, so that’s progress.” Don’t say, “Baby, you are so smart, mommy likes you so much.” Specific praise gives him confidence; empty praise makes him arrogant. 20. Take your promises to your child seriously You didn’t want to take him to McDonald’s, but you casually promised him to go and promised but didn’t fulfill it. Your breach of trust makes him lose his confidence and trust in you. 21. Help your baby to bring out the positive aspects of his personality, so that he can become a person of character If your baby is anxious, exercise his speed of doing things; if he is chronic, exercise his organization. Forcing him to change his temperament will make you lose confidence in him and make him lose his self-confidence. 22. teach him to recognize their own looks from childhood For example, tell him that although he is not big-eyed, but small eyes as long as there is a god is very good-looking. A lot of lack of confidence often stems from a lack of recognition of their own looks. 23. Provide your child with books and materials to support him in doing what he dreams of doing Let your child recognize his own talents and abilities so that he will be more confident. 24. Try to free your baby from dependency in life Be on time for kindergarten and try to have the alarm clock wake him up instead of mom calling him over and over again. A child who can take care of himself can be confident in a non-dependent situation. 25. Let your baby learn to travel from an early age. When you take your baby on a trip, tell him more about the animals, plants, geography, allusions and other knowledge you encounter. The more knowledge you have, the more confidence you will have. 26. Do not use verbal abuse to punish the child’s fault. Verbal abuse not only undermines the child’s confidence, but also makes the child rebellious. 27. It is especially important to analyze your child’s experience with him in a gentle tone when he is frustrated so that he will not make the same mistakes next time and to regain his self-confidence. 28. Parents follow reasonable standards of behavior and be respectable Parents who are not respected in society damage their children’s self-confidence the most. You are your child’s role model and your child is a copy of you.
