Building Self Confidence
How do you build self confidence?
🌸🌸🌸
Step back and allow your child to make mistakes and let them take the lead. When a parent is constantly on top of a child, it makes them feel incompetent. Rather than telling them what to do and following them around, gently let them know your expectations. For example, you may sit at circle time or those toys are not for the table but you may put them next to your chair for safe keeping.

Also speaking too much to children is often overwhelming to them. Try to keep it simple and not repeat yourself more than 2 times. Give your child the time to really appreciate what they are doing without interfering.
🌸🌸🌸
At the same time, provide clear expectations of your child in a positive manner.
