Build Confidence in Your Children
What makes children embrace defeat so easolly? Many factors are involved including lack of self-esteem, negative thinking and lack of support from the family.
Parents can build up self confidence and encourage their child’s development in a proper manner by:
Letting them know that they are loved:
Parents should not communicate to their children in a way that will teach them about success and failure. Children should be loved unconditionally as every child is unique and exceptional in his own away. Parents should accept them as they are spend quality time with them to create bonding.
Sympathy:
Especially at down time, parents should let the children know that they are sympathetic and understanding of their hard time, Parents need not agree on everything the children think but understanding and sympathy help reach out to the kids without judging them.
Communication:
It’s not just about talking and teaching. Successful communication Includes attention and listtening to your children. Do not dismiss any of their opinions and try not to win the argument by showing authority or dictating the way they should feel.
Think positive:
Be a ‘Think positive’ example for your child. When they make a mistake, try to make them see another side of the coin. Mistakes can be a good lesson and teach them where they do right or wrong.
Acceptance:
Children should learn that certain thinge run at their natural course and beyond our control. Victory comes with defeat. Things change over time. There should always be a take or a discussion among family members so children can lern about themselves and accept change more easily.
Responsibility:
Setting a goal and a continuous follow-up can train them to be a responsible individual. Praise when they achieve something during their destination towards the goal. If they fail at the end of the day, it is not a big deal since they already taste success through little things on the way.
