How do I make my child bold?
Teaching kids to be brave and brave is important, here are some ways:
- Reassure them that it is okay to make mistakes and that they are part of life, the important thing is that they learn from them.
- Let them know that they shouldn't be afraid to express their thoughts and opinions. It's okay when people are different, we all see things differently.
- Acknowledge their feelings and help them put their feelings into words. Encourage them to say, "I'm upset because..." or "I feel happy when..."
- Encourage them to try new challenges and celebrate them, use phrases like "well done, that was hard and you managed well", make the steps small at first, then increase them.
- Get them involved in volunteer or community projects that make a difference for someone else to build a more positive opinion of themselves.
- Avoid unrealistic expectations towards them, which put a huge burden on the child and reinforce his fear of failure and low self-confidence.
- The effect of parents' repeated conversations about their personal failures and feelings of negativity and frustration affecting the child.
