1. Show them your appreciation
You should always recognize your child's efforts when they try something new, even if they fail. This will help the child in the future to overcome the fear of the new. Your compliments will boost his confidence and motivate him to take on new tasks. Praise them for even the smallest achievements, such as making a neat origami ship, getting good grades, or reading a poem. Children who receive enough praise grow up to be confident people with high self-esteem.
2. Never ever compare
Because everyone in the world has unique talents and limitations, never compare your teen to his siblings or friends. When a child is compared to others, his self-esteem suffers, which eventually causes him to have an inferiority complex. Developing a sense of healthy competition in children is good, but encouraging them to be better than others can be counterproductive.
Show an example
Parents are the best role models for children because the family is their first classroom and they often pick up habits from their parents. Young children often try to imitate their parents.
3. Assign minor responsibilities
Give your children small tasks, such as cleaning up their toys after playing; making their bed; feeding them; doing a puzzle, etc. As a result, they will become autonomous and responsible, and completing even small tasks will help build their confidence. Mothers often forbid their children from playing sports for fear that they will make a mess or add to the workload, but if you always have everything ready for them, they will not learn the value of hard work and grow up to be more dependent and less confident.
