Boost your child's self confidence

It is so important to boost your child's confidence in herself and her skills. here is a few quick tips:

* Smile when your child enters the room.
* Listen when your child is trying to talk to you. Don't pretend to listen, if you are busy at that moment, rather tell your child that you really want to hear what she is saying and that you just have to quickly finish what you're doing, and then you will give her your full attention. (then obviously do what you said)
* Keep your promises no matter how difficult.
* Spend time with her and do something she wants to do.
* Give her age appropriate choices and support her choice.
*Ask her opinion.
* Hug her often!
And enjoy your child!
A nurtured, loved and respected child will have confidence in herself and her abilities and she will be well on her way to being well rounded happy, self motivated adult!
