5 Books For Educating Children Who Believe In Themselves

Today we will introduce you to a list of books for the education of children who believe in themselves. Why is that important? A quote from Karl A. Menninger sums it up perfectly. “What we do to children, they will do to society.”

Of course, we parents all dream that we will have happy, contented children doing the things they enjoy. It is clear that they will have to develop a fairer and more balanced world if they want to do that. And to realize such a society there must be people who believe in themselves. They should also be confident and self-sufficient. In addition, they must be able to invest all their potential in a fuller life.

The confidence that makes them grow starts with knowledge and intuition

During early childhood, young children are often spontaneous and direct. That’s one reason it’s such a strange experience dealing with them. But from the age of seven, they begin to worry about “what people will say.” They worry about the opinions of friends, teachers and relatives.

But you don’t have to let children lose certain parts of their spontaneous nature. Show them how to process their emotions without losing connection with them. If you want them to develop in a good and safe way, you have to show them the way to express their emotions in an assertive way. Because they have rights. And your mission is to make sure they know those rights so that no one can threaten them if you’re not around.

Because otherwise only one thing will happen. Your children will lose connection with their emotions. This will also push them away from part of their identity. You have to remember that a child loses a part of himself, just like an adult who is unsure of his identity. And that loss leaves room for uncertainty.
