As a part of the school curriculum, the school teachers and management include such activities so as to give the child a better exposure to express themselves. The students are made to express and react among their peers at an early age and that’s how they are got ridden of stage fear and gain confidence over themselves.

Before expressing your thoughts before someone else, you must firstly be clear about your thoughts and then a confident mind will take you through any presentation.

It is a combined trait of how you have managed your thoughts in mind, how you will present them before other person, how you will keep the other person engaged in your conversation and what sort of positive impact do you wish to make on the listener’s mind.

With a clear mind, your child would know where he/she has to proceed in his/her life. What subjects interest him and how is he willing to channelize his potentials in a constructive manner. We must be aware of the fact just doing blind hard-work won’t get your child to his desired position, clarity about his career is equally needed and then only he will be able to give his efforts the right direction.
• Self-Motivation – This is one such thing that will keep your child going on throughout his entire life. There will be times in his life when he may find himself lost or discouraged and no one to support him. That will be the time when self-motivation would be there to assist him. The schools and parents try to develop this trait as a part of their personality development by encouraging them to be self-sufficient and asking them to have their tasks done by themselves.
• Developing a Feeling of Optimism – The life would not always give your child what he wants, rather he would get what he actually needs and that may not look the best at that time. At that time, your child must keep a positive attitude towards things and must try to find the best in whatever he has got. This is also an integral part of your child’s personality development and will help him see the positive side of every situation and thus, reacting accordingly.
