Many parents feel that this way children learn to trust them and to have confidence in themselves. However, children may interpret the statement very differently. Then, the desired trust toward parents and self-confidence may not come about. For a child to grow and to achieve normally, trust and self-confidence are very important, especially today when standards are set high because of our fast technological development. We parents can become briefly the builder of that trust and confidence for our children.
Habits are hard to get rid of.
We must now ask what we parents can do, instead, to build trust and self-confidence in the child. It is important for parents to build on the positive. If a child burned herself on the stove, a parent should take care of the injury without scolding or saying too much. I'm sorry you got hurt. Parents should accept the fact that mistakes are a part of life and can be used as a means to learning better ways.
