The importance of self-confidence in children should not be underestimated. It is not taught in school as confidence has to come from within. Self-confidence can mean different things to different people, but it simply is your faith in yourself. In a way, you can say it is a freedom from doubting your capabilities.
A healthy sense of self-confidence is all about having a balanced view of yourself neither should it be more nor less. Children with a healthy sense of confidence can feel good about themselves and their people.
Confidence helps teenagers feel they can make safe, informed decisions and avoid people and situations that aren’t right for them, which is very important considering the world we live in.
Confidence building in kids is a slow but fruitful process. If your child is confident, they are more likely to be more positive, assertive, keen, and observant. Teenagers with low confidence are less likely to do well in studies and more likely to hold back in class. Confidence is a state of mind, positive thinking, practice, training, and talking to others are ways to build your confidence levels.
Generally, the children do not face much of a problem until they reach Class 7th as the education system is more on theoretical knowledge till then, and they are not much worried about the competition around them. Once they get to higher standards, even though they may be academically sound, they need to be confident in putting it across in the proper manner. Directing them toward this becomes the utmost duty of the parents.
