Here are three tips to help your child develop self-confidence.

Be A Role Model Yourself
Your child will always watch what you do. They will always pick some hints on your social interactions, tasks and what keeps you going. It is said that children learn fast from what they see their parents do. Their brains grasp and store things much faster than that of an adult. Therefore, as a parent, learn to manage your emotions and frustrations, knowing that you will always be their “go-to” person. Try and model confidence and persistence in yourself. Learn new things, appreciate yourself, and audibly celebrate your wins and victories. Your child will learn from it.

Set Them Up for Success
Bring up healthy tasks and challenges to your child once in a while. This will help them develop and strengthen their mind and boost their self-esteem and confidence. Ensure that the tests are neutral and have opportunities where they can harvest success. You can also join them in those tasks and activities. It will make them feel confident and comfortable to do them in your presence, do the tasks without you and even pick up bigger challenges.

Encourage Them to Fully Pursue Their Interests.
Don’t force things in your child’s throat. Your interests might be different from theirs. Take time and learn your child. Identify their strengths and weaknesses and find out what they love doing most in private and public. Once you have this, ensure that you encourage them to follow their interests to the fullest. Be present with your child. Celebrate their wins and encourage them to do better when they get an undesired result. Your child should always be celebrated forgiving their best effort and working to their maximum potential regardless of the outcome. This will encourage them to take on new challenges. The bottom line is to encourage your children to stick to what they love right from the start, so they feel that hit of triumph at the end.
