Learning How To Raise A Confident Daughter
You have always considered yourself to be very independent and self-reliant and you would like to pass on these essential trait to your children. Knowing how to raise a confident daughter is a very fulfilling task. You will be able to assist her and observe how she grows and blooms as she absorbs these essential life skills. You will also find yourself growing and improving your own mindset as you aid all of your children in increasing this personality trait.
Be there for your child when she needs help and always compliment her accomplishments even if they are small. Never raise your voice when she makes mistakes but gently and calmly set her on the correct path. Never belittle a child or make her feel that she is not good enough. Make her feel that she can do almost anything if she just sets her mind to it.
Give her the space to do simple or routine tasks by herself. Helping her with these jobs will make her feel like she can't handle them or make her become very dependent on you as the parent. Also, stepping back and allowing her to take on projects that she was not capable of doing in the past will give her self-esteem a real boost and give her much pride in her accomplishment. She will then have the confidence to take on even more difficult tasks.
Don't smother her or hover over her while your daughter is engaged in a project or task. Give her the space to complete it on her own. Don't rush her or be critical of her work. Make her feel that she is capable of handling many projects on her own. If she seems challenged, making a few suggestions or pointing out different methods of handling the situation, can help her find her way.
Give her the freedom she needs to make her own basic decisions. If you feel they are not correct, gently steer her in the right direction by giving suggestions or alternatives. Even if you disagree with what she chooses, such as the clothes she wears or the color she wants to paint her bedroom, this will still help her learn how to make decisions.
As a parent, you should always set an example to your offspring. Maybe you don't feel very good about yourself on the inside but walking and talking as if you are in total control will give them someone to emulate. Use your body language to project your optimism and confidence. Pass this aura on the your youngsters by maintaining these stances as often as possible.
The ultimate goal is self-actualization and gaining confidence and trust in yourself is just the beginning of this journey. Passing on these concepts to your children is a fulfilling but ongoing process in which they will keep learning and growing as they take on many different life experiences.
Your young daughter will fill your heart with pride as she matures into a young woman. Everything you have taught her will be of great assistance to her in her life. You will have a peace of mind just knowing that she is very well equipped to deal with life's challenges and decisions.
