4 A'S - BUILDING CONFIDENCE IN CHILD


Ask More
A child went to a zoo and started giving nuts to the monkeys. A care taker stops him and asked, “Haven’t you seen the sign Board?” The sign Board was “Do Not give them Eatables, it harms.”

The child replied, “Have you asked them”?

Yes, really we live in perceptions. We Don't ask. Don’t try to understand. Don’t anticipate. We force our likings and understandings on them. We live in symptoms not the reasons. Understand your child by asking. Asking not investigating. Encourage your child to share reasons with you.

Accept their reasons
Accept absolutely. Accept in full. Accept the reasons whatsoever given to you by your children. It gives them courage to share with you. Your role is to correct and understand them what you have done and why. You purpose can never be the fault finder. Never jump to conclusions. Accept them every time.

Accept them as an independent identity
Accept them as an independent identity. Always count them. Count them when you hiring seats, buying items per person. Ask them to order their menu. Ask for their choice. Give them space to choose their dishes for lunch, the type of milk etc. It will give not only make them the confident but also a sign of responsibility on actions.

Never compare them with anybody.

Take them from their Age

Taking the children from their age is very important. It’s like coming to your knees to dress them. To let them eat from your hands. To knelt down to listen them. Same way be a child when you listen them. When they share with you. When they do mis-take. When they fight or experiment.

The Confidence in your Child is your winning, Winning Together.
