When we talk about children's self-confidence effectively, we are talking about parents. So self-confidence for children means the parents believe in them because they are who will build and raise their child's self-confidence. There are 3 tips the writer gives to all parent’s how to make children more confident :
You have known your child
Parents should be the first to recognize their children very much. Such as hobbies, weaknesses, strengths, and habits they do. After recognizing what are the weaknesses and strengths of a child, the role of parents is very important in directing their children not to be inferior to the weaknesses they have. But must focus on continuing to improve the strength that already exists in them, so that slowly the child's self-confidence will begin to form.
Diligently discuss with children
Once we as parents have recognized the abilities possessed by our children, we can have discussions with our children. So that we can also provide knowledge about the habits they do and whether these habits they did are good or not in developing the potential they have, and we can listen to what things are liked by our children by discussing. This can help us find ways to direct our children to develop the potential they already have so that they can use that potential as an excuse for them to be more confident.
Invite children to cooperate
What is also very important that we can do as parents to increase children's self-confidence is we must always try to work with our children in increasing their self-confidence, by providing understanding to our children why self-confidence is very important to them and trying to direct how they can continue to improve the potential they already have so that potential in supporting their confidence in carrying out all activities in their lives.
