WOW Parenting: Build confidence & self-esteem in children

“Mumma doesn’t have time for me. Papa is always on the phone. They ‘talk to me’ when they need to instruct me. They do not spend quality time WITH me. I believe, for them, I am not a priority.”

This is what is going on in the minds of many children today. This "Lack of Communication" will make your child FEEL insecure.

This video discusses how to be a quality communicator as a parent.

“A child is always looking for warmth and security in the touch of parents. As a newly born baby, the child gets enough of it. Unfortunately, as the child grows, parents get busy with life and secure touch becomes less frequent. Often, this leads to the child developing low self-esteem. This results in erratic behaviour or fall in grades or immune breakdowns.

This video explains how to use this TOUCH of LOVE and create super deep impact in the development of your child.

“Whatever I do, my mother is never happy.”

“Whatever I achieve in my life, my father is never happy.”

This is what we hear many children say today. Don’t forget, human beings thrive on appreciation.

Lack of appreciation can create a complex in your child’s mind and restrict creativity while words of appreciation will boost self-esteem.

In this video we will discuss the whys and hows of appreciation. We will answer these questions:

• Will appreciation make my child over-confident?

• Should I appreciate my child even when there is a scope of improvement for him?

• What are the possible harms of appreciation?

Did you know that most children have a complex not because of others, but because of being abused by their own parents?

Did you know that abuse is not only physical but can also be emotional? Ironically, unknowingly, we do it often.

In this video, let us learn about unknown abuses we inflict on our children.

This video will answer these questions for you:

• Isn’t it necessary to sometimes beat the child?

• My child does not listen to me. When I beat him, he listens. What else can I do?

• How do I control my child without shouting at him?

• Is there any other way to discipline my child?

Comparing your child with others is not wrong. What is important is, is it motivating your child or demotivating them?

This video will answer all these questions for you:

• Do I need to stop comparing my child with others?

• Without comparison how can I show my child where to improve?

• Without comparison how do I inspire my child?

“Does your child do things at the last moment? Does your child ‘repeat’ the same mistakes again and again frustrating you no ends?”

Watch this video to learn the following:

• How can I make my child disciplined?

• How can I make my child improve ‘faster’?

• How do I deal with my child's indiscipline?

• What is ‘tough love’?

• What is ‘rough love’?

Over-protection is born out of the deep concern and deeper love. Unfortunately, over-protection does more harm than help.

Over-protection can lead to your child having low self-confidence and low self-esteem. Watch this video to also answer the following questions:

• What is over-protection? How do I know if I am over-protective of my child?

• How do I stop over-protection?

• In today’s wild, wicked, world, shouldn’t I be over-protective of my child?

• How do I bring up my child without being over-protective?

“If you don’t finish your homework, you cannot go down to play”.

“If you don’t listen to me, I will not talk to you”.

Threats are very often used to control the child, but threats actually result in your child feeling inferior. Regular threats convince children that they are not good enough.

If you think threats will discipline the child and make them better, actually, it demotivates them and makes them worse.

This video discusses the following questions:

• How can I get my child to listen to me without using threats?

• How do threats impact my relationship with my child?

• What are the side effects of threat?

• Can I discipline my children without threats? I mean, is it even possible?

Expectations form the base of any relationship. However, if the expectations are 'unrealistic', they do more damage than good.

Having expectations but not communicating them effectively, is another complication. Expecting people to understand what you want without you having to spell out your needs is like expecting it does not rain because you don’t have an umbrella on you.

2. This video also talks about how to communicate our expectations properly.
