A way to protect our children is by helping them to develop self-confidence. A child that believes in him/herself can face daily challenges and find the right solutions to conflicts. Developing children’s trust is tied to self-esteem, and adult support plays an important role.
Children in their development phase will always look for the childminder, both in anxiety or happy moments. This bond is fundamental to children’s self-esteem development and self-confidence.
According to how the adult pays attention to children’s needs, they can develop a secure or insecure attachment. This will define how the child accepts him/herself and how their relationships with others will be.
It is essential that a child feel that he/she will always be loved, heard, supported, and protected by his/her family circle.
However, this doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t allow children to carry out some activities because we are afraid they might be injured.
That is the right time to help them develop independence, autonomy, respect, and responsibility, which are principles they learn at home and strengthened at school.
When children can have spaces where they can develop their independence, they demonstrate that they can do things by themselves. Achieving accomplishments will motivate them to set new goals and find new things.
This will develop their self-confidence and allow their interaction with the environment, bringing new learnings. In short, a child that has set his/her self-confidence can interact better with his/her background, learning from each experience, even if it is not so good.
The following craft activity is based on the Montessori practical life method. Children can feel autonomous and independent, lead their learning processes, and respect their needs, interest, and the way they learn. At the same time, they will develop useful skills they will need in the future.
