When we raise our children, we definitely want them to be confident, to be relatively easy to succeed in whatever they do, and to have the courage to face challenges. However, several parents told me that their children are timid and shy in doing things, and they feel that they have low self-esteem. How can a child have low self-esteem? In fact, low self-esteem means that a child has relatively low self-esteem. Even if he does something well, he will think that it is good luck and does not believe in his own strength. Children\’s low self-esteem may be related to the fact that they are often hit hard, or it may be caused by not exercising the corresponding abilities. What are the common symptoms of children with low self-esteem? If a child likes to say three sentences, it may be a sign of lack of confidence. Parents should pay more attention to this and cultivate their children\’s self-confidence. 1: I don’t dare. Once, several parents made an appointment to play together. When passing a single-plank bridge, most of the children walked over boldly. Since the single-plank bridge is relatively wide and not high from the ground, even the youngest children walked across it under the guidance of their parents. But there was a 6-year-old little girl who stood at one end of the bridge and refused to move forward. The girl\’s mother kept encouraging her: \”Look at that little sister who left bravely. You are definitely better as a big sister. And you can usually climb very high in the community. This wooden bridge is relatively low, so you can cross it.\” But. The little girl just kept shaking her head, saying that she was afraid and didn\’t dare to leave. The mother sighed and finally carried the girl on her back. The girl\’s mother said that as long as she tries something new, even if it is a small challenge, the girl\’s first reaction is always: \”I don\’t dare.\” Even if she takes her to a friend\’s house to play, she will stand at the door and refuse to go in, saying no. Dare to go. Mom is sometimes angry and anxious. What is there to be afraid of? Could it be that someone else ate you? But the more anxious the mother was, the less afraid the child was, and he was so frightened that his eyes burst into tears. In the end, my mother had no choice but to let her go. Children who often say \”I dare not\” generally prefer to stay in familiar places and do familiar things, and are less willing to challenge new things. This is because they are not confident in themselves and do not believe they can do it when faced with unfamiliar situations. And this is a manifestation of low self-esteem. When he joins the workforce in the future, even if he is very capable, he may miss opportunities and find it difficult to seize opportunities and challenges. 2: Forget it. Children who like to say \”Forget it\” often give up easily when encountering something, but after giving up, they feel very sorry and uncomfortable. He obviously got the toy first. When other children came to grab it, he actually wanted to play with it, but he endured the grievance and gave in: \”Forget it, I\’ll give it to you.\” When others started the game, he watched eagerly. He really wanted to join, but after hesitating for a while, he still chose to back down: \”But… Forget it.\” When others asked him, he didn\’t want to do it, but he was afraid that refusing would make people unhappy, so he accepted it and said, \”Forget it, just agree to it.\” It\’s easy to give up when things happen. , Children who are easy to withdraw are not confident in themselves. He doesn\’t believe that he can solve the dilemma, and he doesn\’t believe that he will be accepted by others. When he grows up, when he meets someone he likes, he may be hesitant, or he may feel that he is not good enough or outstanding enough, so he may not dare to take the initiative. Especially when getting along with others, he will be embarrassed to refuse other people\’s unreasonable requests and always feels wronged. andIf others help him, he will be particularly embarrassed and always feel that he owes others. Such children are prone to being wronged when they grow up, and they are also used to wronging themselves. Three: I’m afraid that I won’t be a good friend’s daughter, and I’m especially afraid of being noticed. Everyone signed up enthusiastically for the school sports meet. Even the children who didn\’t usually do much exercise signed up for running, long throw, high jump, etc. She could obviously outrun most of her classmates, but she just didn\’t dare to participate in the competition. Ask her why she doesn’t sign up for a sprint or long-distance run? She said, what if I can’t outrun others? What if I make a fool of myself? What should I do if everyone is looking at me? My friend didn\’t know how to answer the call. If I can\’t run, I can\’t run. Can everyone in the competition get first place? But my daughter just refused to participate because she was afraid of not doing well. My daughter usually does things the same way. Before doing anything, she always asks: \”What if I don\’t do it well?\” My friend thinks that my daughter is too unsure of herself. She is always afraid of this and that. How can she be free to do things in the future? . A child who is afraid of making mistakes and being laughed at after making a mistake has relatively low self-esteem and does not have enough self-confidence to resist the opinions of the outside world. Moreover, as long as he makes too many mistakes, he will feel particularly inferior and feel bad about himself. Faced with children who are not confident enough, we need to help them see themselves correctly and see their own value and advantages. We can usually give our children more affirmations, and they are correct affirmations. For example, you say: \”Mom, I believe you will not be timid.\” The word \”timid\” is actually a negative suggestion. We can change it to a positive affirmation: \”Mom, I believe you will become more and more brave.\” And you Say: \”Mom believes you will not shrink back next time.\” We can replace it with: \”Mom believes you will become more confident next time.\” Use more positive words to affirm the child, and the child will gradually believe that he It really is possible. As long as he tries step by step, he will become brave and confident. I hope every child can say these three sentences less, believe in themselves more, and welcome every day bravely and happily~
