GIVE HER WORDS OF AFFIRMATION

You can instill confidence in your tween daughter by giving her words of affirmation. Tell her what her strengths are.  Tell her she is important to you. Thank her when she lends a hand. The list could go on and on.

DON’T WEAKEN HER CONFIDENCE

You can instill a lot of confidence in your tween daughter by making sure you don’t dwindle what confidence she does have.

All of us have experiences as a child that diminished our confidence. Make sure you do what you can to avoid doing those times. Do what you can to build her up, not tear her down.

HELP HER FIND WHAT MAKES HER FLOURISH

As a child, finding something that I was good at really helped my confidence level. As the parent, it may take time to help your tween find something she’s good at. Maybe it’s helping around the house or babysitting.

Helping her find those “things” that make her feel extra confident.

BE CONFIDENT YOURSELF

Your daughter watches you more than you realize. She sees how you look at yourself in the mirror, she hears the little comments you make. She sees how you handle yourself in tough situations.

Being a confident woman yourself will set a good example for your daughter.

SLOWLY BUILD CONFIDENCE IN YOUR TWEEN DAUGHTER

It’s not your job to make your daughter feel like she is the only person that lives on the planet. Help her learn to care for others and about others. Confidence isn’t just about feeling beautiful, it’s about the kind of person they are.

As your daughter grows up, look for opportunities to build her confidence. Whether she creates a piece of breathtaking artwork or helps with her siblings, find an opportunity to praise what she’s done right.

Confidence is something that everyone needs more of. However, instilling confidence in your tween daughter can be a little more complicated. Would you add anything to this list?

I love the idea that showing our daughters our own confidence can help to build theirs. Thank you!
