“I have an awesome daughter/son but she/he lacks confidence and self-respect. What can I do to help her? ”
Do you also have this questions in your mind like other parents? Sometimes parenting can be little difficult but if we handle the situation correctly things become easier.
Some of us emphasize a lot to focus on studies only, and we don’t even allow our children to get an exposure of something different than their daily tasks.
There so many brilliant international contests which really help children boost up their confidence level and give them international recognition which can be really helpful for their practical lives.
Even, if a child doesn’t qualify in any of the international contests encourage him to face and retry. This is how they will learn to never give up!
Compensation may be a ten-dollar word, but it has a very simple meaning. It means to make up for weaknesses by concentrating on strengths.
No, child comes into the world to do what has been given to him, child can do something out of the box too. We need to understand the difference between creativity and criticism.
They are two different things, when a child is able to do something differently, it shows his creativity not criticism.
In fact, studies have found that children are more open to learning at a young age. So here we must encourage them to participate and understand about the hidden world.
“A child’s mindset contributes heavily to his or her overall educational outcomes. Children who have a ‘growth mindset’ believe intelligence can be developed. They are more likely to do well than children with a ‘fixed mindset’, who believe their ability is fixed while others may be able to achieve. ”
(2019 British Council

So we need to unfold the creativity of our children by motivating them to participate and perform better.
