Child psychologist, D'Arcy Lyness revealed to be a child do need confidence. As reported by Kids Health, there are many new things that will come across children like going to a new school or out of the house for the first time.
Children build their confidence not only because his parents said they were 'great' or 'smart'. Children feel confident because they do own achievements be it large or small. When parents give praise for these achievements, it is a plus.
When a child can do something like brushing their own teeth, walking alone, riding a bike alone, they feel if they actually can afford. Feeling capable it is one that fueled her confidence.
Building children's self confidence may actually be started early. When the child was a baby for example, they learn to face down his own, when they were toddlers learn to walk and run. They also began to think that 'I can do it yourself'. Each new capability that can be done at the age child the importance, in that moment the child build her confidence.
According to the psychologist who earned his doctorate from Temple University, Philadelphia, the parents can help their children build confidence by providing the broadest opportunities for children to develop abilities. Let kids learn from mistakes, but you are still there in spirit for his side to give them not easily give up. When children can make new intelligence, give a response with enthusiasm and there is no harm in giving 'gifts' with praise or a hug.
With a given broadest opportunity, good instructions and the parents have a lot of patience, children can master basic skills such as turn down and the tying shoelaces. With felt he 'could', the child becomes more confident when dealing with a new challenge.
Being in Child Side
Dr. Lyness said, as a parent, you should keep a watch on children when they are trying to develop his abilities, to the interests of security or safety. But that does not mean you get too protective. Give your child the opportunity to try something new, make mistakes and learn from that mistake.
For example, if children want to learn to make bread with a smear of peanut butter, you try to give an example first, then prepare the ingredients and let the kids try it yourself. Will fall apart? Certainly. But do not you so suddenly helped him when he makes a peanut butter falling in the table. If you help him, but he has not been completed, the child will think he can not make their own bread.
But if you are patient in a riot that occurred during the making of bread, you will feel real results. One day your child will probably say with confidence, 'I'm hungry, I'll make a peanut butter bread alone'. Speech can be, 'Well done, can make me too?'. The speech was an example of if you believe in his abilities.
Sometimes children can feel frustrated when he failed to do something. Help him to keep giving encouragement to not give up easily. By trying again for failing it, children learn that any obstacle can be overcome.
