孩子没有自信？快来试试这3个妙招！

你的孩子有没有下列表现呢？

即便可以独自完成某些事，却依然想要依靠爸爸妈妈，认为父母帮忙做肯定比自己强！

总是看着其他小朋友的东西好，虽然自己也有类似的东西，但就是觉得不如别人。

在家对父母言听计从，从不敢有自己的想法，出门在外不愿意和周围人说话、交流；

……

Professor列举的这些情形都是孩子缺乏自信的表现。不知道你的宝贝平日里是否有类似上述的表现呢？如果有，不妨看一看下面的这段TED动画短片，短片介绍的3个妙招对提升孩子自信很有帮助。

以下是视频中关于提升自信的三大妙招的中英文对比

妙招1：快速调整心态

There are a few tricks that can give you an immediate confidence boost in the short term.

有一些技巧，可以帮助你在短时间内很快提振信心。

Picture your success when you're beginning a difficult task, something as simple as listening to music with deep bass; it can promote feelings of power.

当你开始一项艰巨的任务时，可以想象一下成功的美妙，简单的方式比如听比较低音的音乐，可以使人充满能量。

You can even strike a powerful pose or give yourself pep talk.

你甚至可以装出一个强大的姿势或给自己打气。

妙招2：相信自己的能力会进步

If you're looking for a long-term change, consider the way you think about your abilities and talents.如果你正在寻找一个长期的改变，来考量你自己能力和天赋。Do you think they are fixed at birth, or that they can be developed, like a muscle?你认为它们是天生的吗？还是它们是可以被开发的，像是肌肉？These beliefs matter because they can influence how you act when you're faced with setbacks.这些信念很重要，因为它们可以影响你遇到挫折时的行动。If you have a fixed mindset, meaning that you think your talents are locked in place, you might give up, assuming you've discovered something you're not very good at.如果你有一个固定的思维形式，假设你已经发现有些事情你并不是很擅长——也就是说你认为你的天赋早就是被决定了，你可能会放弃。But if you have a growth mindset and think your abilities can improve, a challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow.但如果你有一份成长的心态，认为自己的能力是可以进步的，挑战就是一个学习及成长的机会。Neuroscience supports the growth mindset.神经科学支持成长的心态。The connections in your brain get stronger and grow with study and practice.在你大脑内的连结会变得更加强壮，并且伴随着学习和练习成长。It also turns out, on average, people who have a growth mindset are more successful, getting better grades, and doing better in the face of challenges.这也证明，一般来说，拥有成长心态的人在面对挑战时，会更加的成功，获得更好的成绩，做得更好。

妙招3：练习失败

Face it, you're going to fail sometimes.

面对它，你有时会失败。

Everyone does. J.K. Rowling was rejected by twelve different publishers before one picked up "Harry Potter."

每个人都会经历失败。 J.K.罗琳曾被 12家出版商拒绝，直到某一家出版商接受《哈利波特》。

The Wright Brothers built on history's failed attempts at flight, including some of their own, before designing a successful airplane.

莱特兄弟在设计出一架成功的飞机之前，曾经在飞行领域经历多次的失败尝试，包括一些他们自己的失误。

Studies show that those who fail regularly and keep trying anyway are better equipped to respond to challenges and setbacks in a constructive way.

研究证明那些经常失败但持续尝试的人，更能够用有建设性的方式，去面对挑战及挫折。

They learn how to try different strategies, ask others for advice, and persevere.

他们学会了如何去尝试不同的策略，询问别人的建议并持之以恒。

So, think of a challenge you want to take on, realize it's not going to be easy, that you'll make mistakes, and be kind to yourself when you do.

所以，想想你想要去接受一个挑战，要意识到这不是一件容易的事情，接受你可能会犯错的事实，并在你犯错时善待你自己。

Give yourself a pep talk, stand up, and go for it.

给自己打气，重新站起来，继续努力。

The excitement you'll feel knowing that whatever the result, you'll have gained greater knowledge and understanding.

令人兴奋的是，无论结果如何，你都会收获深入的知识和透彻的领悟。

This is confidence.

这就是自信。

Professor点评：

“

爱因斯坦说过：“自信是向成功迈出的第一步。” 自信是一个人取得成功的重要心理素质之一，但它并非与生俱来，需要家长对孩子从小加以正确引导，让孩子逐渐学会相信自己，建立起自信。

Professor相信，在各位宝爸宝妈的教导之下，宝贝儿们一定会越来越自信，成长为未来的栋梁之才！
