In recent times, cases of anxiety, depression and suicide are much seen among youngsters and even in child. They fail to handle the worst situations in their lives and take negative steps. Do u ever think why it is happening? One of the major cause is lack of self-confidence, courage and patience. Yes, if as a mother/ father you raise a confident child you will be able to minimize such incidents in your family and society as well. So, today I am going to share my ideas about how to raise confident child.
Few Ideas on How to Raise Confident Child
• Stop Spoon Feeding: Many of the parents do spoon feeding with their kid so as to show their love and affection. Actually, parents become overprotective and involve in all tasks to make it easier for their kid. But it will develop dependency in your kid and it becomes difficult to raise confidence.
• Develop Curiosity: Teach your kid new things everyday by storytelling, games, inspirational talks, giving them exciting tasks etc. It will make them curious each and every day and build confidence to do something new.
• Let Your Child Face Challenges: Life is not so easy; sometimes good sometimes bad. It is challenge and you have to teach your child to face the challenge happily. Prepare them to deal with adversity alone in a strong manner. Right from childhood start giving some responsibility and let them handle it in their own manner.
• Encouragement and Appreciation: Encouragement develops perseverance and it finally leads to success. Every parent should encourage the child on all small tasks performed by them. They should help them to follow their passion and always appreciate to go further. Even if your kid is not able to do things or become unsuccessful in any task you should try to kill the feeling of failure and give an applaud that “My child you can do it”, “you are talented enough” “No matter you fail, just keep on trying you will get success soon” “I believe in you, you are very strong and confident”. Saying such lines to your kid make them feel confident and helps you to raise confident child. But some parents starts saying “what you have done, is it the way to do”? “You can’t do it, just leave”? “You are good for nothing” etc. This is really very miserable if parents are treating their child in this manner.
• Never Criticize: Today people believe that criticism is what which builds the character. At some extent it is true but it only happens if you believe in yourself and confident enough. Some of the kids are not strong enough to face the criticism and take some negative steps. So, parents should not criticize the child but raise your kid in such a manner that he/she should become strong enough to face any kind of criticism from this world.
• No Comparison from Others: I have seen very bad habit of comparison in lots of parents. You might have familiar with such families in your locality who always do comparison from other kids to make their kid better. Many of the well-educated parents also do this mistake which is completely wrong. You should work on your child capabilities, passion and try to improve it by building confidence.
• Teach Self-love and Happiness: Every parent should teach their child to love their identity. Help them to know their weakness and strength. Self-love gives strength to the individual and also build confidence.
• Appraisal and Applaud: It is very obvious that if you get appreciation for anything you do you will feel good and motivated. So, it is necessary that whatever your child is performing you should give them applaud to achieve good. No matter he/she ends up winning or losing but you should appreciate the effort. Appraisal will develop confidence in your kid and it is an easiest way to raise confident child.
• Avoid Too Much Strictness: It’s good to be authoritative and demanding in order to maintain discipline and manners in your child. But if you are being too much authoritative or forceful in every matter then it will badly affects thoughts and confidence of your kid. So, to maintain boldness and self-confidence in your kid it is very important to let them free to do some tasks by themselves.
• Spend Quality Time with your Kid Everyday: No matter you are working lady or housewife it’s your foremost duty to spend quality time with your kid everyday. Take some time from your busy schedule and do delightful talk with your child everyday and listen to them very carefully.
These are the few ways which can help you to develop self-confidence and boldness in your child. Believe me it will surely work if you apply in your parenting style. So, just work to raise confident child and enjoy your parenthood.
