The word Confidence sure sounds like a very big word for little children. Trust me, it’s not as serious as it sounds.
Building confidence in young children is very essential for their social, emotional and cognitive development. Most parents or caregivers get really worried when their little ones get to a certain age and struggle with interacting with their peers or even answer a few simple questions. These children tend to shy away from being put in the spotlight, no matter how small the audience is.
We actually do have a huge role to play in ensuring children are able to express themselves both in actions and words and not feel intimidated or out of place. As Parents, Caregivers of Educators catering for young children, we must always create opportunities for the children to express themselves, tell their own stories, use their imagination and explore their creativity. It is our responsibility to use certain strategies to help foster confidence in our little ones.
