A comment on another thread prompted me to post this. I'm really interested in thoughts about how to encourage children to be confident.
DS has just started school. He's confident enough in environments that he is very comfortable with e.g. The nursery he attended for four years, but can really lack confidence in new or different situations and in particular where there are large groups of children.
I don't imagine that's all that uncommon, but I had real confidence issues at school and was bullied. DS is one of the few children in his class that didn't go to the school nursery, so unlike most of the others doesn't really know anyone yet. I know he will get to know people etc, and just because I was bullied doesn't mean he will be, but I'd be really interested to here anyone's thoughts on how to help him develop more confidence if that's possible at all.
