The Art of Confidence: Find It, Grow It and Use It to Your Advantage with Dr. Aziz Gazipura

Modeling

Dr. Aziz Gazipura emphasizes the critical role parents play in modeling confidence for their children. He explains that children are keen observers and tend to replicate their parents' behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes. "The biggest transmission to children, bar none, is modeling," he states, highlighting the importance of parents demonstrating boldness in their actions 1. Chris Hutchins shares his personal experiences, noting that confidence is a skill that can be improved by anyone, including children 2.

   

Supporting Actions

Supporting children in taking bold actions is crucial for building their confidence. Aziz shares a personal story where he encouraged his son to approach a neighbor, illustrating the importance of modeling bold actions without forcing them 3. He advises parents to create a supportive environment where children feel proud of themselves, even without significant achievements. "Letting them know that they can feel proud of themselves without even achieving going to the moon or not can really build this core sense of I'm on my own side and I'm worthy," he explains 4.
