"Self-confidence comes from a sense of competence. A confident child needs a positive and realistic perception of his or her abilities. This arises out of achievements, great and small. Your encouraging words can help develop this confidence, especially when you refer to your child's specific efforts or abilities. It is very importnat to love your child, show encouragement in whatever he or she does, however big or small! Setting of realistic goals are very important so that practically things can be achieved. Also a happy enviornment at home and school helps build confidence in children. Encouraging children to speak and be open about their feelings also helps in building confidence. Teachers trying to encourage children for debates, public speaking, group activities and extempos also helps. The IB curriculam focuses to bring out the best in the child and its planned in such a way that it develops the child holistically in all areas and inculcating empathy and character.

i agree with many parts of the article. i have 4 children, ages, 2,4,6,& 9. i have had my two oldest (boys) in piano since the age of 4/5, and find this builds active learning skills as well as confidence. as part of a music program they interact with other children, and are expected to perform , which in turn helps develop their confidence. my oldest who has been in piano since the age of 5 has performed for large groups outside his music program, and as well is good at oral presentations.

hi, i'm a mother of a 9-year-old girl in grade 3. she is older and taller than most of the kids in her class because her birth date is oct. 10 and in nova scotia, the cut off date to start a grade is sept. 30. she is very active and outgoing at home, but at school, her teachers always say she is shy and very quiet. she is a very good student, but cries when she has to do an oral presentation in front of the class. how can i find ways to increase his self confidence so she can be more of a risk taker? thank you.

this information was very helpful but a little late. i wish i could a have received this information while i was pregnant so i would be able to know how and to do these steps in building my childrens confidence. i have two kids and my oldest is a boy. i always felt compelled to keep him close to me and protect him from other childrens harsh comments or any kid not wanting to share or give my son a turn. he is very shy and backwards. he is in school now and is doing great in his school work, but still says many times "i can't". this may be something he only does with me because the teachers say he is a wonderful student and never gives up and is always is trying. my daughter on the other hand is very out going but a little slow on learning. i'm not as worried with my daughter because i know that there is tutoring that can help her academics, but i am scared that it is too late for building my sons confidence. (i have a low self confidence and self esteem also) did my son get this from watching me and seeing me back away from situations?

i grew up not very confident of myself and would want my children to be confident.this is because i have found out that confident children generrally do better in most sphere's of life.bring up a confident child and you bring up a succesful child,male or female.

i dont have children of my own but i have studied childcare and i am now a proffesional early years worker. i have found that regarding children's confidence, if you give them plenty of praise and encouragement when they participate in team games or they go to nursery then they are more likely to repeat the experiences that you have praised them for. so as soon as you see them interacting or what you presume is building their confidence then praise the child for it and they will gradually see that it gains them attention...lauren

this website is obviously an excellent source of information covering a wide range of childcare issues. however, i would appreciate it if you would refer to the 'her's and she's of this world when imparting excellent information. kind regards. mother of daughters.

hi, its a very good article,but you should suggest ideas for girls and boys separately as they are very different from each other in feelings, emotions etc....what is suggested for a boy may not be effective in the case of a girl child. thanks thanks.

i have a 7 year old daughter. she is a very good dancer. but all the programmes she has done is only in a group of 2 or 4 children. therefore she is reluctant to dance alone although everyone tells her to do so. we put her in music class last year and the teacher told in rude terms that she can't sing. after this she has really lost her confidence although her voice is good. how do i help her?
