Parenting #2 Confidence boosting

My daughter's first performance in school brought tears to my eyes. I believe it happens with every parent. It is a memorable moment for everyone to see their child performing. 

Children have their own interests and it's our duty to encourage them in whichever field they perform, or they would like to explore. We should try and expose them to every possible field so see what interests them. 

Let us see how we can encourage them, or say how we can build their confidence.

1. Children should feel secure about your presence. They should realize is that no matter what happens you as a parent are always with them. It gives them a sense of security and boosts confidence.

2. Always address your child with their name. Let him have the ownership of the name, have an identity. ensure they know the meaning of their name. Further to the meaning they definitely try and be like their name. 

3. Give them a task that is possible for them. Let them lead and guide you. To your surprise, they may perform best out of it.

4. Always involve children if there is some discussion and decisions are to be taken in the house or in the family. .let them put forth their thoughts. Appreciate their way of thinking. 

5. Give them undivided attention. Avoid entertaining any phone calls or any person except its urgency. Let them relax and speak their heart out.

4. Always talk positively about your surroundings, friends, family in front of them. Let them overhear you talking positively about them. Avoid negative talks or complaints. 

5. Encourage them to develop new skills, appreciate their art or skills by hanging it on the walls or displaying it. Create a wall of fame. 

6. Never compare them with other kids or siblings. Let them know they are unique and can have their own liking and interests.

7. If they face failure, let them know it's their wrong method or wrong choice not who they are.  Encouraging them to try again. Let them know failures are the first step to success. 

8. Watch on their companies, ensure they have good friends, positive people around. 

9. Hug them on their achievements, hold them on failures, always love them.

10. Give them small goals and help them achieve it, guide them on way to success.

You standing besides gives them the power  to face the world, stand tall, stand along. Let them fly in the clouds of challenges. They will definitely make you proud.
