Where does confidence in school children come from?

SKILLS:

Every time your child improves his/her skills, and they know (through feedback) that they’ve improved their skills, they become more confident.

SELF-INQUIRY OR SELF-REFLECTION:

When your child does a job really well, we appreciate them, but leave it at that.

Next time, try this – go one step further and ask them questions about how they did the job.

Ex: If your child coloured a mango, ask them about how they chose the colours or how they coloured within the border. This will make them self-reflect and gain a better understanding.

MAKE IT CHALLENGING:

If your child is used to a particular pattern of completing tasks, UP the game a bit by adding a closer deadline or make the rules more challenging for them. (And you can use that extra time to spend time together!)

You can add incentives or change the approach altogether to make tasks more exciting for your child.

And don’t forget the most important part – give genuine feedback!

If your child has done a good job, appreciate it. But if they haven’t, then push them to make them reach their potential.
