Children who feel good about themselves not only have the confidence to try new things, they also feel proud about their gifts and talents. When a child believes in him/herself, they are more likely to to try their best. However, children with self-doubt tend to feel unsure of themselves. Children that don't believe in themselves tend to give up easily because they find it difficult to cope when they lose, fail at something, or make a mistake. It's important for children to be around someone who can be a good example for them. Children need someone who can help them put effort into something and they most certainly need someone who can model the right attitude.
