A mother and I discussed a question: \”How to make children more confident?\” This mother has a daughter named Xiaofang. She found that her daughter was always reticent and lacked self-confidence in school. To help Xiaofang, she began to encourage Xiaofang to participate in family decisions, such as choosing weekend outdoor activities. Whenever Xiaofang makes suggestions, her mother always listens carefully and gives affirmation. Additionally, her mother helped Xiaofang discover her love for painting, encouraging her to attend painting classes and displaying her work at family gatherings. These measures made Xiaofang gradually feel valued and recognized, and her self-confidence also increased. Educator Montessori once said: Once a child is not confident in his heart, his life will be full of conflicts. The resulting bad personalities such as timidity and withdrawal will be inseparable from the child. In the process of children\’s growth, self-confidence is an invisible force that can make children more determined when facing difficulties and challenges. Education expert Professor Li Meijin proposed: By mastering the six golden rules, children will become more confident day by day. Next, let’s explore the specific effects of these six golden rules. 1. Pay attention to the commitment to children. Consistency between parents\’ words and deeds is the cornerstone of children\’s trust and security. Every promise made by parents should be taken seriously and fulfilled. You must mean what you say to your children, do what you say, and don\’t let your children down. Xiao Ming\’s father promised to take him to the zoo on the weekend. Even though his father was very busy at work that day, he still found time to fulfill his promise. Xiao Ming was very happy because he knew his father was trustworthy. 2. Go into the children\’s hearts and establish an equal communication relationship with them, so that they feel respected and understood. Establish a relationship with your children as friends and talk about everything. Xiaohua\’s parents often chat with him to discuss his experiences and feelings at school. Even if Xiaohua makes a mistake, his parents will patiently listen to his explanation instead of just blaming him. 3. Don’t compare your children with other children. Every child is unique. Parents should avoid comparing their children with others, which will damage their children’s self-esteem. Children all crave affirmation and recognition from their parents. Even if they are not excellent for the time being, they still hope to be the best in their parents\’ eyes. Xiaoli\’s parents never mentioned in front of her how good the neighbor\’s children were, but encouraged her to develop according to her own interests and abilities, which made Xiaoli feel loved and accepted. 4. Involve children in family decision-making. Involving children in family decision-making can enhance their sense of responsibility and self-confidence. As a member of the family, the child\’s sense of participation is to make the child feel respected. Xiaogang\’s family consults him when deciding on weekend activities. Xiaogang felt that his opinions were valued, which made him more confident in expressing his thoughts. 5. Help children discover their uniqueness. Parents should help their children discover and develop their own strengths and interests, which will help them build self-confidence. Let your child realize his own excellence and discover his own shining point! Xiaoqiang has a strong interest in painting. His parents signed him up for painting classes and encouraged him to participate in various painting competitions. Xiaoqiang\’s achievements in painting make him proud. 6. Learn to accept imperfections. Parents should educate their children to accept their own imperfections.Perfection, recognizing that everyone has limitations. Tell your children that everyone has limitations and imperfections, and parents also make mistakes. Xiaomei did not get good grades in the math test. Her parents did not blame her, but told her that everyone has areas where they are not good at, and the key is to keep working hard and making progress. Professor Li Meijin\’s six golden rules provide parents with specific methods to cultivate their children\’s self-confidence. Parents can help their children build strong self-confidence, making them more confident and brave as they grow up. Dr. Montessori said: \”The child\’s mind is absorbent.\” In short, as parents, it is better to give children a confident heart than to give them gold and silver. To cultivate a confident, sunny, and optimistic child, parents need to understand and practice Professor Li Meijin’s six golden rules and adhere to long-term scientific education and careful cultivation.
