FOX新闻：如何培养自信的孩子
燕山大学 刘立军 编写
TRANSCRIPT
Fox on Family. When my daughter turned 10, I noticed insecurity creeping in. And just telling her she's awesome and to ignore the haters, doesn't seem to help: "This generation doesn't do as you say, they only do as you do."
So the advice from mother-of-four and author of 'Happiest Mom on the Block,' Katerina Mayants, is to be the change you want to see in your children by working on yourself: "And you start to raise your own voice and make it louder than the voices that are coming-of advice, of criticism-from people around you, that's when you're bulletproof."
She says then the whole family can focus on living the best life they can: "Instead of constantly being plagued by stresses and anxieties and all of the things that come when we're trying to impress everybody else outside of the home."
Spending less time on social media can help with confidence. And let your kids know you face similar challenges with criticism in life, but that your own opinion is what really matters. Show them how to move on.
With FOX on Family, I'm Lisa Brady.
