Hello friends welcome to my blog
Strengthening a child's esteem is one of the best things you can do for the child because you have to help build that child's self-confidence, which will help him or her all through their lifetime in their social relationships, education, growth and also develop essential life skills.
I have a child with stage fright issues in his present class in school; his teacher told me how he doesn't like to get involved in class presentations in school.
What I did after I got the complaint was having a time of discussion with him, asking what the problem was and why he didn't get involved in class presentations. Before engaging him in our discussion, I made him feel comfortable by telling him stories of my school days and how interesting and fun it was when we had creative activities with our classmates and teacher.
He felt free and was open to telling me he was scared to fail or make a mistake; that's why he doesn't like to get involved in his class presentation. What I did to help him over stage fright was
Letting him know everyone makes mistakes and mistakes can be corrected. I gave him instances of great success who have made mistakes in life and bounced back with better results. I also told him his love regardless of the mistake.
Several rehearsals: we engage in several rehearsals at home until he becomes perfect before his presentation day in school. While we rehearse we get a break and relax at some point.
Positive affirmation before performance: I speak words of affirmation to him and let him tell it to himself to boost his confidence, letting him know he can do it. I also promise him a fun day outing to celebrate his success.
With these, I got an improvement note from his teacher, and I was happy I could him help out with stage fright.

Yes, he was comfortable since we are currently working on overcoming stage fright. He felt it was one of our usual practices and rehearsals. So when I told him about the activity we were about to do that, he would be acting for me today, he happily accepted to acting a teacher role while I was his student.
Yes, we were able to overcome stage fright. We had a really good discussion before we started. While we were discussing, I gave him a sense of belonging by encouraging him to share his experiences, feelings and thoughts. I also gave him hugs, a physical touch and an audience for some of his fun stories. These help him get comfortable and perform well

It's an interactive moment for us as we carry out this activity. There were moments of laughter and a happy time because he was so comfortable expressing himself and enjoyed the activity.
Extras
We also captured some exciting moments during this time. It was a happy moment as he also watched the video and was encouraged by his courage to present his lyrics very well. One good thing I've come to understand about kids is that they tend to free up and be expressive when they are encouraged during a task.
He delivered his presentation very nicely and well enough, that I clapped for him. Just the clapping made his day.
