I wanted to know if anyone knows anyways that i can help my li'l 14 yr old sister to be more self-confident? Pls I am serious I would like ligitimate answers. I try to help her but I am at a loss for ideas. She reminds me of me at her age and I don't want her to go down that same path because she is void of self-confidence and self-assurance. Pls can you help me?

learning yoga or public speaking or both - taking a sales job - where you make cold calls will smarten you up in a couple of weeks - it forces you to learn how to think on your feet. Unreal what you can do if your a salesman or woman.

This is a hard one. need to compliment her on what she is wearing. Let her know beauty is not only skin deep.
It is always what is inside that counts. I know that doesn't work. So you can tell your guy friends tell her that she looks good. |

Give her self-confidence. I have really low confidence and self-esteem. When my friends like do my hair and tell me it looks really good I feel a lot better. Or when they tell me I look really nice and really pretty today. Usually, my friends rave about my hair because they think it's so perfect. Just give her some tips and make her prettier, change her looks that will make her self-confidence and self-esteem go way up! It does the trick for me! Good Luck!

Let her do all the things by herself. Start putting her in problems and then let her solve herself. Don't advise her - only tell her that you can do it.

Spend time with her and with her friends and act the way you want her to act. All young girls want to be like older girl so, naturally they will imitate what they see. If she see's you doing the right things then hopefully she will too. Also, maybe you should talk to her about the bad choices you made and tell her honestly what really happened and how it affected your life and maybe you can save her a little hurt. Just taking the time to talk to her and be with her should boost her self confidence because she'll know that you care and will be their if you need her. But, don't be judge mental because that will just make her mad.

get her into sports, watch who she is hanging out with. "Birds of a feather fly together and if you want her to sore like an eagle she shouldn't be hanging around with turkeys."

Well what would you have done different. Hang out with her make her feel important. Find something she is good at, help her pursue it. She need focus on something, a sport maybe. Give her a make over go shopping together.

Hello, I remember when I was that age and how I had zero confidence... worse even, I might have been my worse enemy at the time...
U do have one thing on your favour: you are her sister, so even if she pretends she does not listen, in reality she does look up to you, a lot! So some tips that I hope do help: -be an example - be positive, show her the positive side of things -be very caring -listen to her, try to understand what makes her feel insecure and accompany her in a path to change that, for example, if she thinks she´s not pretty, do things together with her to make her beauty come out (go to the gym, go sunbathing, do healthy, positive things) OH and maybe you can enrol in a dance class together... I think the time when I felt most confident in myself, in general, was the time when I was taking belly dance lessons... You are really attempting something beatiful and I do really hope it works out, for the both of you, Love and Blessings |
