 We are the generation of obsessed parenting. We want the best for our children. We are raising well-programmed humans who are smart. Smart has a whole new meaning now. A smart individual steals the show, outshine peers, and is never dominated by others. With this misconception in mind, we are defying the thin line between arrogance and confidence .We are raising arrogant jerks rather than true leaders. Let’s see how.

If a child dominates his peers, brags about his qualities, flaunts a know-it-all attitude, and is loud in his group then they are considered confident. On the contrary if a child shows humility, considers others opinion important, speaks only when required is considered introverted and less capable to face the cut-throat competition in the future. But the truth is something else.


In today's cut-throat competition your child doesn't need to be proving themselves and demonstrating their capabilities rather they should be people who add terrific value and are good at appreciating others. To become a true leader they don't need to be loud rather they should be capable to inspire and positively challenge their teammates to contribute better. They should understand the bigger picture and focus on ideas and not themselves. So that precisely answers what true confidence means and what we as parents should be doing.


We should work towards raising kids who are confident to grab an opportunity, rise to new challenges in life, take control of the difficult situation and also take responsibility when things go wrong. This can happen only when we stop raising arrogant jerks and let the kids know that that there is much more in life than themselves.

Confidence stems from healthy self-esteem. Confident people always believe in learning from others and inspire others. They don't need constant reassurance of their qualities. They are blessed to see more than themselves and so can think out of the box.

 On the contrary, arrogance is related to hidden low esteem, exaggeration of self-qualities to mask weakness and insecurity. They need constant reassurance of their self-worth so they are loud and dominate others. No one likes arrogance.


 So next time your child shows humility never consider it a sign of lower self-esteem. They are ok with other's opinions as they consider friendship more important than bragging about their ideas. They are true leaders as they are being appropriately raised to be a social beings.
