Are children born confident, or is it something they develop over time?

In this episode of Prepare Children for Success, Lisa Chuma challenges conventional wisdom about building self-confidence in kids. Lisa reveals three widespread myths that could be holding your child back and offers practical strategies to help them thrive.

Key Takeaways:

• (1:13) Myth #1: Confidence is something children are born with. In reality, confidence is developed through experiences and environments.
• (1:57) Myth #2: Praise alone builds self-confidence. While important, over-praising can lead to dependency on external validation. Genuine feedback that acknowledges effort and perseverance is crucial.
• (2:46) Myth #3: Avoiding failure protects children's self-confidence. Allowing children to experience failure and learn from it is essential for building resilience and self-worth.
