Every child is a backbone of the future society and it is our duty to help them in shaping up their career in a proper way. According to science genius Albert Einstein, proper attention must be given to the curiosity of a child since it is the place where the learning starts as their brains are fresh and the grasping power is quick. Here are some of the tips to build confidence in your child.
Optimism:
It is absolutely important to grow your child as an optimist since it creates a positive energy within which leads to the development of self confidence. Once it is achieved, your children will automatically grow as a matured personality.
Self- Image:
Create a positive self image of yourself and try following that in front of your child as the child is a keen observer of the things that happening around him. Often tell your child the bed time stories of great mythological warriors and other eminent personalities. It is one of the best ways to instill self confidence in your child.
Spend time together:
Spend at least 2 hours a day with your child every day. In spite of your hectic work schedule, it is necessary that some valuable time must be spent with your child. Often tell your child about the ethical and moral values that have to be followed in one’s life.
Small Responsibilities:
Give your child some small responsibilities such as sending him\her to grocery shops that is situated nearby your place of stay for a purchase of small items such as candle box, candies, soup packets, etc., This would definitely help the child in getting a good exposure of the society around him/her.
Encouragement:
Encourage your child always. Never punish him for the small mistake he commits. A proper learning is possible only from mistakes and the same thing applies to your child too. Allow your child to pursue his interest and make sure that you guide him in a proper way.
Extra-Curricular activities:
‘All work and No play makes Jack a dull boy’ and your child must not come under this category. Make sure that your child spends some time in learning music or sports of his interest or other extra curricular activities. Encourage your child to actively involve in Charity and other social services. This would definitely help him in shaping up his career as a good human with high self confidence.
Confidence is a vital ingredient in Child’s growth and it is our responsibility to ensure that our child grows with a good self confidence. A child who possess a good self confidence is capable of facing new challenges, skills and pass out with flying colors.

Hey dude, that was an excellent topic as well as the points discussed were neat and designed to capture interest. I would add one more point
"Failure is the stepping stone for success".
This thought should be inscribed on the child's mind. '
If you want to learn riding a bicycle, unless or otherwise u fall you cannt ell your fears. The mind to rejuvenate within ourself and fight will help in gaining maturity within the child.

Some excellent thought provoking points here. I wish parents give more time to their children and also think of them as individuals rather than as possessions . It is over expectation that makes parents feel disappointed in their children and brings in frustration in life..As regards training them towards a successful career and standing in life, it is the duty every parent to do so without expecting any returns. I am sure the child will automatically realise his own responsibilities if the parents do not make him feel that he should be grateful for every little thing ..

THe basic ingredient to build a child's confidence is taking your time out to show them you have time for them and that you are there when they need you. I have proven this to myself that the more I am around when he is awake the more he tends to like spending time and understanding things better. Thus, his confidence grows further on unlike when you leave them with somebody else or you do not spend time with them at all.
