Self-Confidence

Self-confidence comes ultimately from a sense of love from the family.  If our daughters experience acceptance, affirmation, security, and intimacy from their parents, confidence in worthiness and goodness grows.

Three tips to boost confidence:
Why not share it with your daughter, watch and discuss them together.


Self Confidence:  How to be Assertive
Help our daughters to develop more confidence.  Develop appropriate boundaries, speak directly about own needs, direct eye contact, stand up straight, use “I” statement, and practice.


Self Confidence: Friendship with the opposites
Learn how to appreciate differences.  Develop social-emotional skills and managing conflicts.  Start early in making friends not just with similar interests but also with different personalities. 


Self Confidence:  Ending bad friendships
Be able to identify the toxic relationships in our lives.  Reflect on your own “doormat.” mentality.  Set boundaries.  Set action steps and get advice from wise people.
