Teaching children new skills is another way of boosting their self-confidence. A little time from you, a tip from you, a fact you pass on, a technique you demonstrate, and youngsters' know-how expands. Their picture of themselves brightens. There are a few approaches to stay away from if you want children to start off with solid, sure, good feelings. Let me mention three.
Comparisons are real lemons.
That is Brand X for sure. We do it because we want children to live up to their best, but they always live down to the labels put on them. Try hard, too, to steer away from too much nagging. Children that unsure run the risk of being pushovers in their later years. Building inner feelings of strength lays a foundation and is good protection.
