How to Improve Child’s Confidence
Visualize yourself increase your self-confidence.
“What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.” -- Napoleon Hill
Visualization is the technique of seeing an image of yourself that you are proud of, in your own mind. When you struggle with low self-confidence, you have a poor perception of yourselves that is often inaccurate. Practice visualizing a fantastic version of yourself, achieving your goals. For a positive visualization recall all the positive qualities that you bring to the same level as you can think of. Some examples might be passionate about the subject matter, level of education, ability to make people laugh and honesty.
Stay away from negativity and bring on the positivity
Positive thinking definitely improves your self-confidence and helps you deal with any difficulties. This is due to the idea that how you think about yourself affects your behaviors. If you think positively (I will succeed. This is completely do-able. I am going to do the best I can) it increases the chances of positive actions. So please be positive, even if you're not feeling it quite yet. Try to getting away from those individuals who put you down and shared your confidence. Try to put some positive enthusiasm into your interactions with others and hit the ground running, excited to begin your next project Stop focusing on the problems in your life and instead of them begin to focus on solutions and making positive change.

If will be really beneficial if you are going with some quick tricks such as Just the simple act of pulling your shoulders back gives others the impression that you are a confident person. Smiling will not only make you feel better but will make others feel more comfortable around you.

Research has proved that those who take the time to speak slowly and clearly feel more self-confidence and appear more self-confident to others. The added bonus is they will actually be able to understand what you are saying.
Affirm yourself/positive talk
Affirmations are a powerful tool to state your desired beliefs about you. Affirmations are positive and uplifting statements that we say to ourselves. These are normally more effective if said out loud so that you can hear yourself say it. You tend to believe whatever you tell yourselves constantly, you will become like that. Using positive affirmations and self-talk helps improve self-confidence and reduce cognitive anxiety. Positive self-talk makes you feel good about yourself and the things that are going on in your life. It’s like have an optimistic voice in your head that always looks on the bright side.
Be clear on your goals enhance your self-esteem
Goal-setting increases your self-confidence because it makes you feel like you are working toward something positive and it enhances your performance too. For example, if your goal is to give a presentation, make sure you got your point across and said it clearly, and in a confident manner. The more goals you achieve, the more confident you may become. So please think about the purpose of the activity you are doing. Set specific goals for what you are about to do. Focus on achieving those goals instead of thinking about what might go wrong.
Face your fears/ Do one thing that scares you every day.
You should try your best that fear never becomes an obstacle to your success. Facing your fears is one of the best ways to get rid of them. If you are worried about speaking in front of people, the more you practice it the less nervous you will be. Try practicing your speech in front of your family or friends before you do it in front of your designated audience. This can help you become more self-confident. Make sure you get feedback from your loved ones on your presentation so you can fix any issues before your big day.
Trust in a positive outcome
Too many people are discouraged about their abilities because they set themselves goals that are too difficult to achieve. So please start by setting small goals that you can achieve easily. Once you have built a stream of successes that make you feel good about yourself, you can then move on to harder goals. Make sure that you also keep a list of all your achievements, both large and small, to remind yourself of the times that you have done well. Instead of focusing only on “to-do" lists, I like to spend time reflecting on “did-it" lists. Reflecting on the major milestones and goals you’ve achieved is a great way to reinforce confidence in your skills.
