7 Ways To Build Your Child's
Confidence

Here's one of the best bits of parenting advice you'll
ever find: "a confident child is more likely to be a success in life, more
likely to be liked in life, and more likely to be happy in life".
Isn't that what you want?
Here are 7 parenting tips to build up confidence in your child:
1 - Always praise your child for the things she does right. Even if they
are little things, make them important and let her know that she did
well.
2 - Let your child do things. Even if she is not
quite ready to do certain tasks, help her make a start and don't worry if
it doesn't turn out right.
3 - Believe in your child and let her know it! Don't
pressurize her to be something she can't be. Just let her know that you
believe in her ability to (occasionally) do great things.
4 - Only critisise a behaviour - not the child. Always avoid too much
criticism of her when she does things wrong. It's much better to criticise
the behaviour - that way she can distance what she does from what she
is.
5 - Show an interest in your child's interests. They will
probably be boring to you, and you may not understand them. But they are
important to her, so show a respect and interest in the things she
does.
6 - Accept your child's fears and insecurities. Never
belittle them or brush them aside. Remember the time when you were young
and the things that made you afraid and try to understand.
7 - They say laughter is the best medicine, and it is.
That's why you should always laugh with your child and never at her.
Healthy laughter is a wonderful way to bond tightly. It is also something
you will both thoroughly enjoy.
Remember, a confident child is a happy one, more likely to be liked in
life, and more likely to succeed in life. Confidence is a wonderful
parenting style to apply to your little one today.
