Insecurity is usually an acquired quality. Its appearance is usually preceded by some unsuccessful experience, memorable defeat, pain, etc.
If we talk about children, then a child’s lack of confidence can arise as a result of their upbringing.
Ways to help develop confidence in your child
1. Help your son (daughter) find a hobby in which they will be successful. Maybe your child sings well, runs fast, dances beautifully, or draws. Help them find an activity they enjoy and support them in this endeavor.
2. Help your child love himself and see his strengths. Praise him for his achievements and emphasize his strong points.
3. Discuss mistakes and failures, but don’t make a tragedy out of them. Remember that a grade can be corrected, but it’s much more difficult to restore a child’s self-confidence.
4. Encourage experimentation. If your child wants to change something, for example, in their appearance, support them. Perhaps a new haircut or clothing style will help them feel more confident.
5. Get your friends and family involved – write a letter to your child with them, listing everything they like about him.
6. Create a “success diary” for your child to keep track of his or her accomplishments, and fill it out together. Teach your child to set goals and achieve them.
7. Try to find confidence-building courses in your city or on the Internet. In addition to fulfilling their direct purpose, they will also help you find friends with similar problems.
Earlier we talked about how to understand that a child suffers from a lack of attention.
