To Build Confidence in your Child

 

This the sequence to Shy Baby! 

Try the following tips to build confidence in your child, while avoiding things that you should not do.  These will come in handy even if your child is an extrovert (opposite of introvert), but lacks the confidence.

  • Never compare your child to another child or that child's performance, no matter how good you feel the other child is!
  • Never punish your child for not performing in public.
  • Never question your child's ability to do things by him/herself.  Keep an eye on your child if you are worried but do not keep telling him/her that s/he cannot do it by themselves.
  • Encourage your child to do things without help (of course when s/he is old enough to handle it) .
  • Take your child's help.  This will make your child feel important and make him/her feel good.
  • Always encourage your child.  Encourage him/her to try by him/herself.  This improves self-esteem and self-belief in your child.  And once again, do not keep telling your child that s/he cannot do it.

Hello, Confidence

Hello,
Confidence building is a slow and steady process. It normally takes time, but it is very important to detect medical problems at an early stage. A specialist opinion will be needed to detect if the both the above children have purely confidence issues and introvert personalities or if they need behavior therapy.
The age of 10 is a good age to detect medical issues. 15 could be slightly delayed but is not too late. Kindly post these questions in our 'Ask the Doctor' feature and we will arrange for a child psychiatrist to evaluate your questions, ask for more details and suggest therapy for your children via email.

On October 8th,2008

Sir ,my son is a 10 year old he hestitates and feels shy in front of any guest. He was good in studies in his kindergarten classes. He remains untidy always, never keep his books properly and he is very bad at spellings. If he startes doing something wrong once he cannot correct himself quickly. He always gets remark that he is hyper active and his energy needs to be channelised. I can't say that he is dumb but he does not concentrate on what he does. He always behaves like too small kids but he can play games on net well. He obey elders but i think out of fear. Yes, some times I feel we scolde him unneccesarily but if we don't stop him he will not anything of his own.

Thanks
