What Albert Einstein Can Teach Your Children About Confidence
Your child can learn a lot about confidence from Einstein’s life and work
This is what the greatest scientist of the 20th century had to say about children:
“If you want your children to be intelligent read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent read them more fairy tales.”
and,
“Understanding physics is child’s play when compared to understanding child’s play.”
Psychologists often describe confidence as a person’s belief in their own ability to succeed. Naturally, every parent wants their child to be self-confident.
However, what seems to challenge parents the most is striking a healthy balance when encouraging confidence. They want to nurture their child’s confidence, but not let them get too arrogant.
Also, many parents have a challenge with self-confidence themselves.
The brilliant Albert Einstein said,
“If you can’t explain it to a six-year-old, you don’t understand it yourself.”
This is the key issue: many parents don’t know how to teach confidence to their children.
