The answer

A child begins to develop self-confidence at the age of two, influenced by parental treatment and the fulfillment of her needs. Lack of self-confidence stems from an excess of commands and prohibitions, criticism, not allowing opportunities for discussion, excessive warnings about danger, comparisons with others, mockery, neglect, and over-parenting. This results in her inability to act independently, apathy, frustration, weak will, and anxiety.

To foster self-confidence, parents should establish general guidelines, assign tasks to the child, encourage her, reward her, use a special nickname, strengthen her willpower by teaching her to keep secrets and fast, and reinforce her social and academic confidence. Insults, humiliation, and sarcasm should be avoided. The child should be gently alerted to her mistakes without public reprimand, because the world of children is precise and sensitive, and building self-confidence in them is fundamental to building their personality.
