How To Raise A Confident Daughter In The Modern World

By Rhea Frazier


You have always considered yourself to be very independent and self-reliant and you would like to pass on these essential trait to your children. Knowing how to raise a confident daughter is a very fulfilling task. You will be able to assist her and observe how she grows and blooms as she absorbs these essential life skills. You will also find yourself growing and improving your own mindset as you aid all of your children in increasing this personality trait.

Help her in areas where she needs assistance but always praise her accomplishments no matter how small. Don't raise your voice when she errs but calmly and gently lead her on the right path. Never make a child feel like she is deficient in any way but rather that she is capable of great things if she just sets her mind to the tasks at hand.

Stand back and let her do routine work by herself. Always helping her or doing it yourself will not help her mature and grow. She will remain dependent on her parents and other people as long as you do this. Give her plenty of space to try tasks that in the past were too difficult as this will give her the pride she needs to try and accomplish even more.

Be very careful not to hover or smother her while your child is involved in a task or difficult project. Supply her with the time and space to work things out on her own. Do not criticize or belittle her final result. Give her that feeling that she can handle almost anything that she puts her mind to. If she does seem to need your assistance, make some suggestions or give her a few pointers that will provide her with enough knowledge to continue on her own again.

Give her the freedom she needs to make her own basic decisions. If you feel they are not correct, gently steer her in the right direction by giving suggestions or alternatives. Even if you disagree with what she chooses, such as the clothes she wears or the color she wants to paint her bedroom, this will still help her learn how to make decisions.

Lead by example. Carry yourself with dignity and pride. Even if you don't feel very confident on the inside, make a point to always project an air of always being in control. Body language is very important in projecting feelings of confidence, pride and high self-esteem. This aura will be passed onto your children if you maintain it as much as possible in their presence.

The ultimate goal is self-actualization and gaining confidence and trust in yourself is just the beginning of this journey. Passing on these concepts to your children is a fulfilling but ongoing process in which they will keep learning and growing as they take on many different life experiences.

You will be so proud of your young daughter as she grows and matures. The skills and mindset she has been taught will assist her throughout her entire adult life. The peace of mind that you will have knowing that she will be well equipped to handle all that life hands to her will be a priceless gift.
