You can help your child to develop good self-confidence by showing an interest in your child's thoughts and feelings.

Praise your child' s positive behavior and efforts. Successes and good grades should not be overrated. The journey is the goal.

Always try something new with your child.

Help your child if they get stuck.

Make it clear to your child that you love them and that your love is not linked to their success .

Teach your child to deal with mistakes in a relaxed manner. Laugh about it together.

Focus on the child's strengths. Encourage them in the things they are good at and support them in the things that cause them difficulties.

Find a sport for your child in which taking part is more important than winning.

Let your children help out around the house. This gives them a feeling of being needed.

Support your child if they want to set boundaries. For example, they don't necessarily have to want to share all their toys with the visitor.

Before going to bed, make a note together with your child of everything they have managed to do that day. This will make your child aware of what they can already do.
