How do i make confidence in my child?

Answer 1

Confidence comes from the ability to accomplish a task independently. ("Oh, I can do that.") Teach your child how to do things that are age appropriate. Praise him when he does things correctly. You may want to teach him a skill...how to hit a ball, how to cook an egg, whatever his interests are.... the more he can do for himself independently the more confident he will be when approaching a new, unfamiliar task.

Answer 2

Praise your child. Believe in your child. You did not mention the age of your child, but you can do that with any child, any age.

If your child is older, tell her/him that they CAN do whatever positive thing they are trying to do. Encourage them -- tell them they are doing a good job when they are doing a good job. Make sure they understand the difference between doing a good job and a poor job. Always end your conversation regarding an issue on a positive note. You might say, "I was looking at your room -- you said you cleaned it, but I noticed you threw a blanket over your doll carriage instead of putting it away. Please go back and fold the blanket (if you need help, I'll help), put it away, and you will be done. I'm proud of the way you cleaned up in there! Everything looks so much better and now you have room to play (or walk around or ????). Great job!!"

Be a role model for them. And be there for them.

Answer 3

Do give your child the attention he needs and deserves. Spend time together talking, playing and doing daily activities. Trips and outings are great, but painting, singing, gardening, playing a game, going for a walk or making a sandwich together can be just as special.

Even ordinary tasks like sorting washing or posting a letter can be a chance to let your child help you and to feel 'grown-up' and confident.

Remember to praise your child when he tries hard or does well. Try to be specific: 'Well done for stroking the kittens so gently and kindly' is much clearer than 'Well done for playing nicely'. This will help your child to learn good and bad behaviour as well as confirming that what he's doing really is positive.

Dealing with negative feelings
Talk with your child and remember to listen, too. Be interested in his or her friends, and successes and failures.

Try to be sensitive about your child's fears or worries, even if they seem small or silly to you. The world can seem very frightening to a small child. Show your child you take him seriously and give lots of encouragement, especially after a nasty shock or when something has gone wrong.

Help your child to talk through negative feelings, too. Affirm his feelings: 'You must have felt scared when the dog barked and jumped at you. It was really noisy.' or 'You must have felt very cross when Ben pushed in at the swings. You know we have to take turns.'

If something happens to upset your child, talk it through together and discuss how he might deal with events next time: 'You can tell Ben it's not fair to push in, or even tell a grown-up, but you mustn't hit him.'

Interests and clubs
Out-of-school clubs are another way of helping your child to interact with others and feel confident about him- or herself. Sports, self-defence, language or music clubs can give your child new goals and a sense of achievement. Activity holidays are another way of meeting and interacting with new people.

Encourage your child's interests and try not to call them 'boring', 'silly', 'girlie', 'tomboyish' or other negative words. They are a part of your child's developing personality.

Of course, if your child's interests become obsessive or if they are inappropriate or dangerous it's important to intervene. But if your child develops an interest in a new hobby do encourage it - even if it's not your thing!

Answer 4

Tell moral stories and help the child develop good qualities and values, the child will build confidence in due course.

Answer 5

You don't make it, you BUILD it. Hopefully your child is still very young. You need to praise the good things that your child does and encourage to help your child in those that are not right. Never call your child negative names, such as stupid, slow, retard, idiot, etc... I'm sure you can think of many more that could be damaging to a child's emotions. Be positive with your child and you will REAP what you SOW.

Answer 6

reinforce and reward strong confident acts of child. Put in sports, dance, public speaking, pageants and other things. Find his/her strengths and make them grow.

Answer 7

By allowing him to do things on his own, shownig him how he can. Teaching him how to make good choices and decisions, and allowing him to make them. Never teaching him to fear something new, remember children learn by our reactions.

Confidence is learned by knowing what to do. If you teach your child constantly to know what to do in all situations, and how to react, they will naturally gain confidence.

Answer 8

BE OBSERVANT AND SUPPORT THE CHILD IN WHAT HE FEELS IS DIFFICULT, AND APPRECIATE FOR THE EFFORT AND COMPLETION OF THE WORK, IT COULD BE ANYTHING THAT HE DOES IN DAY TO DAY ACTIVITY, NEVER TRY TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN OR SHOUT AT THE CHILD

Answer 10
