what can i do to make my kid more confident?

Answer 1

Talk, talk, talk. Praise him when he does something good, and when he messes up, suggest ways to do it differently next time, without being harsh. Let him know that even though he messes up, there's always next time to do it right, and he's not a failure just because he fails every now and then. Tell him you love him often, and tell him what a wonderful kid he is. The more he hears it, the more he'll believe it.

Answer 2

This is a problem I didn't know we had until yesterday. My son has always seemed very confident and outgoing to me, however when I went to his preschool conferences yesterday (he is almost 4) they told me he is the nicest boy they have ever met but he doesn't "stand up for his rights". In other words, he is letting the other kids walk all over him. I'm not sure what to do about it because I have always taught him to be a nice boy and want him to continue to be, but I don't want him to be a push-over either. So what his teacher suggest I do is encourage him to speak up and TELL the kids that they are wrong and that they can't take things from him. He has a very extensive vocabulary and is ahead of everyone in his class so hopefully his verbal skills will make it easy for him to speak up with a little encouragement.

Answer 3

Always tell them when they do something good....encourage them...always react in a positive way with them...my biggest child, 6 years old is very shy...so I put him in theater classes : it works very well...now, he's not afraid to answer his teacher at school...it can be a good way!

Answer 4

give you kid lots of praise when they achieve something, even it is something small... and gently encourage trying new things, just don't be pushy.
