Not every child is quick to raise their hands in a classroom, instantly share their thoughts on what to have for dinner, or speak up in a group of friends. And even though this may worry you as a parent, it really is okay!! Confidence in kids is often equated with how talkative or extroverted they are, but in reality, true confidence can look really different. On the other hand, sometimes the ‘quietness’ can turn into self-doubt and lead to your child’s voice getting lost in the world’s noise. In such moments, supporting your child with gentle, affirming tools can build up that confidence in kids.
