I realize every child is different, they can not be generalized because they are born with their own talents. However, all children can be taught to be confident not to be easily minder, if only parents understand how to teach it to them. Inferiority is one of the greatest enemies of a person, the feeling can be brought until a person grows up so that later can affect in his personal and social life.
Then how to teach a child to have a good sense of confidence? Here are 6 ways I summarize from various sources how to teach your child to have a good sense of confidence, among them are:
- Do not scare
Sometimes to make your child a deterrent or you want your child not to do something you do not expect, the most efficient way to use is to frighten him. However, have you ever considered the long-term effects? Fraudulent habits in the long run can make a person easily pessimistic, the habit can be embedded in the minds of a person so that his influence is only visible when someone will make a decision. You should tell the real reason why it is forbidden for him to do so in such a way that the child has a clear reason not to do so.
- Do not scold for no apparent reason
Challenge as a parent is heavy, sometimes it affects your emotions. I remember when I was a kid one time my parents scolded me for no apparent reason, as my son was unable to defend himself and prefer to remain silent in the room. Of course you can be angry, but your anger must have an excuse, so the child will know the wrong and hopefully not to repeat the same mistake.
- Do not mock
Although the purpose of joking mocking habits can not be justified. A child does not yet have a good understanding of communicating with other people, when he makes mistakes and it's funny how you think you should avoid taunting him. In the child's point of view the mistake he has done even if it is funny is a very shameful thing, you should still give him the spirit and teach him not to make the same mistake.
- Involve in making decisions
In some cases involving the child to make his own decisions you should try to do. Like what he should wear in a school farewell or what gift he should give to his friend. Getting the child to make his own decisions will train himself to be confident that the decisions he takes are correct and that you should support continuously.
- Do not spoil the child
Well for mothers in particular, I realize that you are the one who contains it for 9 months. No matter how great your affection to your baby the habit of spoiling it should be avoided as much as possible, not you do not care but whether you also consider the future if you often spoil it. A child who is often spoiled will depend entirely on his parents and it will carry on until he grows up. From now on train your child to do his own daily tasks and praise him for what he has done, the way it proves effective in evoking a child's confidence.
- Active communication
No matter how busy you are, as a parent who cares about the development of his baby should you often take the time to converse with them. Light topics around school, friends or the hottest news can be your chat. Ask them to comment on an issue and ask their opinion of the incident, take your child to think critically in addressing everything.
i really find this advise amazing to raise our children... we should understand how each kid thinks and then treat him deponds on his imagenation.. I think each person has his own skills and his own way of thinking.. so not all of us are good in math and not all of us are good in drawing and not all of us have wild imagention.. i belive that each perosn has his own skills others don't have.. so we should always encourage all people to go what they are good at and skilled about.. thank you for this amazing post...
