As children grow up, as parents and teachers, we all want them to be confident and brave enough to face life's challenges.

But children will always encounter difficulties and develop self-doubt.

Actually, elementary school students are excellent! Through the following common words, you can help children develop the quality of self-confidence and bravery.

1. Don't be nervous, you must do it! Self-confidence is the first step to success, just like a kitty flying with wings spread and can soar.

(Encourage your child to believe in himself)

This sentence uses the metaphor of "kitty flying test" to ease children's anxiety, and uses "spread their wings" to imply the importance of action.

You can gently pat your child on the shoulder and tell him, "The last time you rode a bicycle for the first time, didn't you also sway, but in the end, you also rode steadily?" This time it will be like this! ”

2. Don't be discouraged, we can try again! Brave people don't never fail, but choose to get up after falling.

(Encourage your child to be brave and try)

"Try Again" emphasizes action, and uses the image of "getting up after falling" to convey the spirit of tenacity.

Pointing to the child's bad drawing, he said, "You see, Leonardo da Vinci drew eggs hundreds of times before he succeeded!" We can try it a few more times, maybe the next time it will be even better! ”

3. It's okay to fail, come back next time! True growth is not about always succeeding, but learning to persevere in failure.

(Encourage your child to persevere)

"It's okay to fail" reduces pressure, and redefines value with "growth" instead of "success".

Give a life example: "Remember when you were learning to tie your shoes? At first, it was not good to tie it, but after practicing every day, isn't it fast and beautiful now? ”

4. I'm sure you can find a better way! People who think positively always find new possibilities in difficulties.

(Cultivating a Positive Mindset)

The "Better Way" guides children to change their perspectives and uses "new possibilities" to stimulate their desire to explore.

You can suggest: "If this path doesn't work, let's try to go in a different direction?" It's like changing the passage in a maze, maybe you can find the exit faster! ”

5. We all see your efforts! Every effort in the process will become a gift for the future.

(Emphasis on the process of effort, not the result)

"Seeing in the eyes" makes children feel cared for, and gives meaning to their efforts with "gifts of the future".

Show your child's workbook: "If you do two more math problems a day, the traces on these scratch papers are evidence of your quiet progress!" ”

6. No matter what happens, we will always love you! Your value is not determined by success or failure, but by the fact that you are the unique you.

(Expressing unconditional love and support)

"Always love you" conveys a sense of security, and "unique" strengthens self-identity.

Before going to bed, you can hug your child and say, "Today's drawing competition, no matter what the result is, you are the best child in our hearts when you prepare carefully!" ”

Through such expression, it can not only alleviate children's anxiety, but also transform "self-confidence and bravery" into perceptible and actionable behaviors, so that encouragement can truly become the nutrient for children's growth.

Parents and teachers may wish to take these words of encouragement to heart and put them into action.

Give more encouragement to children, so that they can grow into confident and brave people in a loving environment, step by step, with full of positive energy, and stride towards a better future.
