*** Every child is actually born as a social being. Children are individuals, not miniatures of adults, that is, of us, and when we accept each child as an individual with different characteristics from the others, we lay the foundation of self-confidence (self-confidence).
Suggestions to ensure self-confidence in our children;
- In infancy; Instead of picking up the wrong object in your hand, it should be taken softly by saying “no”, “no” etc. with our facial expressions
- Not shouting at the baby unnecessarily and excessively
- Approving words should be said (Good for you, bravo, smart) baby etc.)
- When he starts talking, he should listen to him and wait for him to finish.
- Should not give warnings such as “it’s a shame”, “what a shame”, “look how shameful”, “look, everyone is looking at you” at unnecessary times
- “you can’t do it”, “you are small”, “don’t get involved” etc. derogatory sentences should be avoided
- Children’s opinions should be sought when making decisions at home or when buying something from the market or store. It should make us feel that we value and care about it with sentences such as ” .. etc.
