Does your child struggle with their confidence? Do you wish you could help? Well you’re in luck, because confidence is a learned skill, and there are many easy things you can do to help build self-confidence in your kids. In this episode, I’m going to give you a 10 day plan, which you can start using right now, to help develop those skills and improve confidence. Remember: the brain is a muscle, and confidence is just about giving the right parts of the brain a workout - from taking the lead on tasks to positive reinforcement, it’s easy if you know how! So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation… Highlights from this episode: 01:02 - One focus per day 03:16 - The Seven Cs 11:48 - Day 1: A wall of fame 14:55 - Day 2: Encourage self-talk to be more growth oriented 16:43 - Day 3: Ask for their help 19:28 - Day 4: Give descriptive praise 21:34 - Day 5: Reflective on 3 good things and 1 learning 22:56 - Day 6: Set aside time to play 25:46 - Day 7: Acknowledge their feelings 27:06 - Day 8: Ask them to do something 28:43 - Day 9: Stage appropriate choices 29:46 - Day 10: Reflect on the last 10 days 💚 Please share with at least one friend, and let’s build our village together 💚 For all previous episodes, and to submit episode topics you want me to talk about, visit https://drmaryhan.com/podcast/ 💚 For the free resource library, visit https://drmaryhan.com/library 💚 Join our campaign One Million Moments to reduce the number of children struggling with mental health challenges from 17% to 10% by 2025 💚 Brands and advertisers, email contact@drmaryhan.com DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
