Interesting.... In some cases, self-confidence seems to be rooted in an infant’s innate temperament. From birth, some babies are easily distressed or more fearful than average. Parents may find such an infant difficult to sooth or comfort. Often, they respond by becoming overprotective or controlling, believing that these strategies will be beneficial for their vulnerable child. In reality, they may have the opposite effect: over time, this kind of parenting can mean fewer opportunities for a baby to play and explore. As a result, he is likely to remain inhibited and withdrawn and to miss out on important social skills. Too often, this pathway leads to low self-confidence.
