What One Can Do About Children Confidence

By Nancy Gardner


There is no doubt, more and more kids struggle with a low self esteem. Children confidence needs attention and this is possible with the help of both parents and teachers. One needs to focus on their strengths and find out what they are good at. It is also important to encourage children and give them praise.

They will also suffer less during their adult years. It all starts during childhood and when one comes from a home that has been satisfactory and content, things will usually go well for the adult later on in life. They won't have problems with relationship in their personal life. They will also be more confident in a work situation.

In saying this, there are certain things that a teacher or parent has no control over. These things will be referred to as abuse as well as any emotional trauma. This can happen with bullying. Often the parent is not aware of this. The child will suffer with esteem problems and they may develop a lot of anxiety in their lives. This will also be portrayed in the person who develops into an adult.

A confident child is always motivated and encouraged to go further with whatever they are doing. Once they get something right or the parent or teacher finds that they are persevering, they are given praise. This type of praise is vital, because it makes them feel as if they are able to do the task at hand. Without this, he or she may not realize what they are able to do.

Some children don't think they are good at particular tasks because they have not got it right the first time around. They need to be praised and encouraged in order for them to persevere with it. They will learn not to give up and this will be shown in the adult years when they are at work. They may be busy with a project that does not come together the first time. However, the confident will learn to use another method, for example.

A child who has been abused or bullied won't always reveal this to an adult. They will develop a low self esteem and this becomes a problem because adults are not sure why this has developed. One needs to know about the signs and symptoms, so that they know what direction to take.

A child will learn by making mistakes and this is part of life as any adult will know about. They need to find out about this early on because this is also going to build some confidence. They will learn that there is hope the second time around. They will also learn that you are not a failure if you do make a mistake. Parents need to go about this in the right way and not make a big thing about it.

Finding that your child is not confident can be a letdown, but you have to put in the effort in order to help him or her improve. There is always room for improvement by looking to activities, such as sport, clubs or socializing. If you allow them to tag along behind you and rescue them from situations, they will never improve.
