Once upon a time we all were small kids but that time we didn’t find so much facilities and even no one at that time was so much aware also. But nowadays parents are aware and they try new and new things daily to make their child more and more intelligent and to boost confidence in children. Now parents start preparing their child from a very small age so that after play school he or she can get admission in a good school. And it is important also as from starting only if the curiosity will be developed in child than he will not have to be disappointed and will not lose confidence. Because once if child will choose the wrong track it will be difficult to take him back. People often say that why to hurry to get the child enrolled so early or our child will learn himself but it’s not right. A child if left like that only then he or she may become stubborn also and can even create problem in going school also.

Here I’m sharing some tips about how to build confidence and curiosity in the child from a very young age:

Spend time with your child: A mother’s or father’s responsibility is not just to feed their child or to build them but they should also spend time with their children. They should play with them instead of letting him/her watch a lot of cartoons. They should tell them stories etc. This will help them in reading their child’s mind and will help their child also to come more close to his/her parents.

Guide your child: It’s the main responsibility of parents to guide them that what is wrong and what is right. Never neglect any mistake of your child. Tell him/her calmingly that this is not right or this is wrong. This will help him/her to easily differentiate between what is wrong and what is right and it will not let them do that mistake again as children’s mind easily grasp things as compare to elders.

Let him/her do things by their own: Children love to do things their own whether eating, drawing or any such thing. So never stop them in doing such activities until it is dangerous and harmful for them. Letting them do things by their own will help them in learning new things daily and will help them in building confidence.

Keep eye on them: It’s good to set your children free but not totally. Parents should not completely let their children be free, they should keep an eye on them without knowledge of the children so that we can know more about our children activities and can analyze whether he/she is hiding something from them, whether he/she is going on right path etc.

Don’t scold or beat them hard: People say that if children are not scolded they might turn into something wrong but I don’t agree. Parents should not always scold them for every wrong thing what they did, sometimes it’s good to handle the situation calmingly. Simply tell your child about what wrong they did and what are the harms it can lead to. Yes sometimes scolding is necessary but if situation can be handled with love then why to make anger a tool. Because sometimes scolding can even turn your children aggressive and stubborn and he may do something more wrong so better avoid anger and make them understand with cool mind.

Never tell wrong things to your child: children’s are curious and they often ask different question whose answer we don’t have or we can’t tell them but that doesn’t mean that we should tell them something wrong or fake story. Instead of doing this we can simply tell them that you don’t know the answer or you will search the answer for this or if they had asked something wrong then simply make them understand that this answer you will get when you will grow up. But never tell them a fake story as this will even disturb their mind and they may start perceiving things that way only.

Never use wrong words in front of children: In some houses people often use abusive words or languages but they never think that what impression this will leave on the mind of a small child. Parents should never use such languages and they should even ask other house members also to not to use such words in front of children as their mind at that age grasp things easily and so they may learn and use such words.

Be part of your child’s dream: A children when small often tends to say that he or she will become artist, painter, doctor, pilot etc as they that time are not so mature and are in the world of imagination and these things help them in developing confidence. So never say no to his/her dreams until its leading him to wrong path. As it will make him/her more creative also. Even parents should not put the burden of their dreams on the shoulders of their child they should let them make choice on their own.

Help them in their studies: Parents should always help their children in his/her studies as it will help him/her learn things easily and solve any difficulty. While making them learning basics like Alphabets, numbers, rhymes etc parents should try to make them learn those things orally with their help instead of using books. They should make them learn rhymes by singing them this will develop their curiosity in studies and they will love to study.

Ask your child about his/her school: Due to busy lives parents hardly ask their child about their school, what they done today, what they learned, about their friends etc. But it’s really important to ask your child all such things so that you can know what your child is doing when he/she is away from you, is he/she having any problem in school etc.

And at last,

Be always friendly towards your child: A child always searches for a good friend with whom he can share all his activities, studies, with whom he/she can play etc. So just doesn’t be a good parent but also be a good friend of your child.
