From the first year on, the baby has a sense of himself and is aware of what he can and cannot do. Dads should boost their self-confidence whenever they can.
Baby learns as he gains new skills, and these achievements give him self-confidence. The reactions of others to their actions influence their self-esteem.
A child with good self-esteem will strengthen his personality and will be positive and happy. You will cope better with small frustrations and better adapt to the world around you.
What can you do?
- Be very happy for your small achievements or for your effort to achieve them.
- Do it with positive labels, always tell him how good he is, how well he has done things and how much you love him.
- Express your affection with a lot of physical contacts. This gives you a wonderful feeling of security and love.
- If the frustration of getting something overflows, hug and encourage him orienting him towards another activity that dominates.
- Facilitate the challenges in small steps so that each one represents an independent achievement from the previous one.
