Confidence is one of the greatest gifts a parent
can give their child, which will help them remain
strong through lifes challenges, manage anxiety
and overcome stress. Every parent must encourage
and support their children as they attempt to
tackle difficult tasks, which will help them feel
they can handle what comes their way.
3
Children need to trust their own capabilities to
thrive while, simultaneously, knowing that they
can handle it if they arent successful at
something. Confidence is when one feels positive
about their ability to perform a task and
succeed. Ultimately, confidence is a state of
mind that makes you feel good about trying new
things and challenging yourself. Plus, confident
people arent afraid to try new things (theyve
no fear of failure).

There are several things you can do as parents to
improve your childs confidence. The following
tips are by reputable childcare Howell providers
5
Encourage your child- Encourage your child by
giving them support, confidence, or hope, which
can be done by appreciating the effort that they
put into completing a task (no matter they
succeed or fail), take an active interest in
their hobbies or activities, spend quality time
with them, be generous with your praise (try to
offer specific feedback so theres room for
improvement), show how much you love them, and
most importantly, do not compare them to others.
6
Let your kid solve their problems- It is best for
them to figure out problems by themselves. Do not
intervene (keep an eye on them and how they are
handling their problem from a distance) so that
they can develop the abilities or the confidence
to figure out problems on their own.Resist the
temptation to fix or improve your childs
tasks,better that your kid gets a few B's and C's
rather than straight A's, so long as they are
actually learning how to handle the issues and do
the work.
7
Teach by example- You are your childs best role
model, so if you want to raise a confident child,
practice what you preach, which means you need to
learn to be confident in yourself. Dont berate
yourself out loud or criticize yourself or
compare yourself to other people.
8
Try activities that are outside of your comfort
zone, which will improve your confidence. Make
them understand that it is okay to make mistakes,
what is important is to learn from our mistakes,
and should never let fear get in the way of
trying.
