Family Concerns

Your child’s self assurance is their mental base. A self-assured child is confident, stable, happy, well-adjusted and flourishing. They can find the solution to predicaments that may come their way, and do well under a loving parent’s nurturing care.

What are some positive techniques to formulate self assurancein your child?

It is very important to accept your son or daughter for who they are, and encourage them do the same. Show your son or daughter that no one is perfect, and that everybody can make mistakes.

You must show how to learn and grow from their mistakes, and let them know that you also can make misjudgements. Kids with high self assurance are able to take lessons from misjudgements and apply them down the road. A child with low self assurance become disheartened and start to use self-depreciating behavior, such as calling themselves ’thick’ and declaring to ‘never try that again.’

You need to help your son or daughter bring to light their abilities and talents, and suggest outlets for them to strengthen and better them. Praise a son or daughter not only for gains in abilities and skills, but also for the characteristics they naturally own.

Prompt your son or daughter to make positive choices. Open a candid dialog with your son or daughter and debate the possibilities with them. Kids who learn skills from making positive choices when they are younger are well-prepared for the tough decisions they have to make when they are adults.

Ensure that you spend lots of quality time with your son or daughter, at least twice a week. Whether you are enjoying a hobby together or going out for a meal, take time to chat and keep in touch. If you find it difficult to fit in quality time during a very busy week, take the time to chat about matters during the drive to school or while they are helping you put the groceries away.

Remember, being a parent is the most significant job you will ever undertake. You want to do it well.
