Children with low self-confidence have 9 alarming signs

Hadfield, a famous British psychologist, said: "Only when people are confident can they use more than 500% of their potential, while people who are not confident or have low self-confidence can only use 30% of their ability."

A psychology professor at Stanford University, through a survey of children from hundreds of families: It was found that some children have negative complexes due to improper familyeducation . If parents do not promptly detect improper child education behaviors, causing children to develop complexes and inferiority, it will indirectly ruin their children's lives.

Therefore, when children show the following symptoms, parents should have timely remedies.

1. Easily emotional when failing

Failure is normal and happens a lot. But if your child has low self-esteem and lacks confidence, he or she may cry, get angry, or show extreme disappointment when he or she fails or loses.

2. Don't dare to resist

Assertive and thoughtful children will loudly protest and express their dissatisfaction after being treated unfairly. Meanwhile, there are shy children who do not dare to express their dissatisfaction when being bullied.

Often, children with low self-esteem are easily bullied because even if they are upset, they do not dare to lose their temper. The reason is that they feel that expressing their thoughts is unsafe and will hurt themselves.

The reason why children have such different reactions is largely related to the parents' attitude. When a child loses his temper, if the parents are patient and tolerant enough, they will allow the child to express his negative emotions. After the anger has passed, the parents can sit down and talk to the child and analyze what is right and wrong.

But in reality, not all families can do this. Many parents will lose their temper when their children get angry, even scolding them with the command "don't cry". Such children will gradually form the idea that they cannot lose their temper. They will suppress these emotions, preferring to be upset than to dare to express their dissatisfaction.

Gradually children will become self-conscious and shy.

3. Children are too shy

Children, especially girls, tend to be shy and embarrassed. However, if a child shows signs of being too shy, such as not daring to sing in front of friends, not daring to appear in front of many people, not daring to interact with strangers... then it is possible that deep inside the child's mind, there is a large hidden inferiority complex.

4. Speaking negatively about yourself or others

People with high self-esteem think about themselves and others. On the contrary, people with low self-esteem think negatively about themselves and others. When children have low self-esteem, they become sensitive to the actions and words of those around them.

5. Not daring to try new things

A child with low self-esteem is often overly concerned about the eyes of others, especially afraid of being judged by others when they fail. To avoid being judged by others, children tend to express themselves as little as possible and hide in the crowd.

As such a child grows up, even if given the opportunity, he may not grasp it due to low self-esteem and miss out on many opportunities.

6. Children have difficulty concentrating

Children with low self-esteem often have difficulty concentrating fully when studying or playing, or can only concentrate for a very short period of time. This is a serious and unavoidable consequence of inferiority complex in children.

7. Compare often

If your child is constantly comparing themselves to friends or others, it could mean they don't like or feel confident about who they are.

This can be thought of in two ways – the child is putting themselves down or putting others down to make themselves feel better. Either way, the way of thinking is unhealthy.

8. Giving up too soon

If your child has low self-esteem, they may give up before making a decision. They may also avoid situations where they think they will fail and not try to overcome challenges.

9. Children "crave" to be praised

Although children with low self-esteem always consider themselves inferior to others, they crave to receive compliments from their parents and teachers more than anyone else. Because of this, children can even use dishonest and improper methods such as lying or cheating in exams...
