My dear fellow members, I have a 12th class son who lacks confidence. I wish to support him without steering in any direction. Can you advise how to boost his morale so he can find his own calling?
The first thing is to show that you believe in him unconditionally. Tell him daily that you love him and are proud of him. Positivity and trust will help build his self confidence from within.
Every child is different. Nurture his hobbies and skills. When he does well at something, however small, praise him genuinely. Never compare him with others. Introduce him to new ideas and experiences.
Always listen without judging when he shares his thoughts and feelings. Respect that he is finding his way just as you once did at his age. Ask open ended questions to get him talking about his interests. Confidence will emerge from within, over time.
