“Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” - Dr Seuess
Parents often enrol their child in Speech and Drama hoping it will increase their child’s self-confidence. However, sometimes they confuse self-confidence with a child’s ability or desire to be socially accepted or to fit in. Often parents are concerned because their child is quiet around peers but loud and energised when at home. This is not always a reflection of self-confidence. A child not wanting to do the same activities as others or not always joining in at parties might still be a very secure and confident child. As parents, when considering a child’s self-esteem, it’s about focusing on the child’s values, interests and talents and how comfortable they are pursuing and sharing them. Not on how well the child fits in socially.
