How To Teach Your Kids Confidence

July 2, 2025 by Contributed Post Filed Under: Kids Leave a Comment

If you want your kids to do well in life, to be happy and well-rounded, you may well want them to have developed a lot of personal confidence. You might especially feel this way if you have ever been lacking in confidence yourself, as so many of us have. Regardless, the truth is that you are able to teach your kids confidence probably more easily than you might have assumed, and this is something that you are always able to do if you want to really make sure that they are developing well. Let’s look at some of the things that can help.

Model It

 

This is arguably the number one thing you can do to ensure that your kids become more confident themselves: model confidence as best as you can yourself. If you are able to do that, you should find that you are really going to notice a huge difference to the way that they act and some of the assumptions they have about confidence too, which can be a really helpful thing for sure. So developing your own confidence is always going to be a really important aspect to all this as well.

 

Let Them Try Anything

 

One of the main ways that confidence is developed is through trying things, and ‘failing’. This is something that a lot of parents try to protect their children from, but that is one of the worst things you can do for them. It’s much better for them if you can let them try anything and let them fail, so that they can learn from those moments and carry on. This is genuinely one of the strongest ways to build up confidence, and it’s something that you are really going to find important to bear in mind.

 

Get Them Involved In Activities

 

There is a lot to be said for trying to get your children involved in a range of activities too, as this is the kind of thing that is always going to help with the whole process of developing confidence. Again this can be related to failing, but it’s also just about going into new spaces and trying new things with new people. That might be signing up for the South Shore Gymnastics Academy or it might be a chess club or anything in between. What matters is that it is out of their comfort zone and something they want to try.

 

Praise Effort

 

Finally, a simple thing you can do as a parent is to praise the effort that your child makes more than the outcomes of their efforts. This is really important as it helps them to really appreciate how vital it is to simply put the work in, and that is where a lot of natural confidence actually comes from. As such, you’ll find that this praising of effort is one of the main things that you can and should do if you want them to become more confident over time.
