Dependency and low confidence in students are increasingly common issues in today’s classrooms. These challenges not only hinder students’ academic performance but also impact their personal growth, mental health, and future success.
Causes of dependency and low confidence in students are over parenting, fear of failure, lack of opportunities etc.
We should promote a growth mindset by emphasizing effort over perfection..

Dependency and Low confidence in students

@Ridafatima95 Absolutely dependency and low confidence can really hold students back.I’ve seen that giving them small responsibilities praising their efforts and encouraging them can make a big difference.We should also create a safe space where mistakes are seen as part of learning.Confidence grows when students feel trusted and supported.

You're spot on! Dependency and low confidence are indeed growing concerns in today's classrooms, affecting not only academic performance but also students' personal growth, mental health, and future success. The causes you mentioned, such as overparenting, fear of failure, and lack of opportunities, can all contribute to these issues. Promoting a growth mindset by emphasizing effort over perfection is a great approach to address these challenges. By focusing on progress, persistence, and learning from failures, educators can help students develop resilience, self-confidence, and a more positive attitude towards challenges. This mindset shift can empower students to take ownership of their learning, build self-efficacy, and develop a more optimistic outlook on their abilities. By doing so, we can help students become more independent, confident, and motivated learners, better equipped to succeed in academics and beyond.

Yes, absolutely!
Promoting a growth mindset is key. By encouraging effort, resilience, and self-reflection, we can help students overcome dependency and build confidence. Creating supportive environments with opportunities to take risks and learn from mistakes is essential for their overall development.
