Help your child cultivate genuine and lasting confidence! In the book Kid Confidence, an approved clinical psychologist and parenting expert offers practical, evidence-based parenting strategies to help children develop fulfilling relationships, acquire skills, and make choices that fit who they are and who they want to become.

As children grow and begin thinking about the world in more complex ways, they also become more self-critical. Unfortunately, studies show that self-esteem peaks during preschool years only to drop dramatically as children move into their teens. How can you reverse this ominous trend and help your child build genuine self-esteem?

With this guide, you will learn that self-esteem is not about telling kids they are 'special.' It's about helping them embrace the freedom that comes from quiet self-assurance—a way of being in the world that is not obsessed with self-criticism and instead adopts a compassionate view of oneself and others, allowing for both present awareness and personal growth.

You will also discover how your child's basic needs for connection, competence, and choice are essential to self-esteem. Connection involves building meaningful and satisfying relationships that create a sense of belonging. Competence means developing tangible skills. And choice is about the ability to make decisions, determine what matters, and choose action in ways that are consistent with personal values. When children can meet these three basic needs, the question 'Am I good enough?' is less likely to arise.

If your child suffers from low self-esteem, you need a detailed parenting approach. Let this book guide you as you help your child build undeniable confidence and lasting well-being. Pages: 224, Dimensions: 15.2x15.2cm
