The desire for Good Kids to grow into a child who has self-confidence, is entirely a reasonable expectation.
But as we know, self-confidence does not come by itself, but is a life skill that needs to be trained.
Life skill is what will make the child will not be easily discouraged in trying and not afraid to try again when experiencing failure.
This life skill is also believed to provide greater opportunities for children to achieve a glorious future.
Well, ready to forge confidence of the child? Here are his tips:
Wise in praise
It takes the right level of praise for the child, when he is worthy of praise. Give specific, flattering sentences. Instead of saying, "Wow, really cool sister's picture," it's better to say, "Mama loves the purple color you chose, made the picture more lively."
Let Children Make Decisions
If from an early age the child has had many opportunities to make a decision he will believe in his own judgment. For example, "To fill the spare time, what sister would you like? Piano or violin? "When he replied," I want vocal tutoring, "do the discussion, listen and respond to his opinion.
If the child is confident and willing to take responsibility for his decision, respect his choice. Again, this is not just a matter of course, but a matter of forging life skills that will be useful in the future.
Help to be more optimistic
When the child is upset, comfort him in a healthy way. Sentences such as, "It's not sad, losing is common, really," it can indeed lara, but it would be wise, if Good Kids invited to evaluate the weak point and how he can improve it. "Mama can understand that you're disappointed because you lost, let's make a plan how next time you can win!"
Encourage to Help others
Happiness when it can help others will make the child feel himself more useful. Help is not necessarily material, but also energy and mind. For example, during the holidays, ask children to help grandparents at home. Simple impression, but the trust given by adults in children will make children believe that he is capable and empowered.
