Help! My child needs more confidence

PART ONE
Does your child possess a healthy sense of confidence? Answer yes if your child makes friends easily, accepts leadership opportunities and displays a bright, positive attitude.
But if your child is timid, shy and passive, with few friends and little initiative, your child needs help now.
The problems start small, a child who can’t interact with his or her peers or won’t look an adult in the eye. But as a child grows these problems do, too – and before long this child is the target of bullies, prone to peer pressure and withdrawn in the classroom. Kids like this are called “painfully shy” for good reason.
A child with self-confidence problems needs to improve his or her self-esteem. In this report, we’ll share some ideas on how this can be done.
First, let’s review the five common problems your child may encounter.
Is your child “Timid and shy?”
Children who are quiet and unassertive find it difficult to interact with both peers and adults. They can find themselves overlooked in both school and social settings.
It is difficult for such children to “break out of their shell” in order to build friendships and gain leadership skills, both essential qualities for personal development.
Is your child a “Loner, not a leader?”
Shyness and a lack of self-confidence force children onto the sidelines and away from the action.
Children who fail to participate in activities do not allow their skills to develop, further lowering their self-esteem and insecurity.
Leadership in particular is a quality that must be learned. Children who are not encouraged to build this skill lose out on this powerful opportunity.
Is your child a “Bully magnet?”
As a parent, there is nothing more agonizing than knowing your child is suffering from the emotional abuse of a bully.
If you, too, were bullied as a child, you know yourself that the scars can take a lifetime to heal.
Sadly, children who are quiet, shy and unassuming tend to get bullied. For such children, it is essential that they turn their attitude around and learn the steps they must take to avoid this problem.
If your child has low self-esteem or little confidence, martial arts training offers a great environment to help them build the confidence they will need to succeed at school and in life.
