Childhood is an important period when self-awareness and personality begin to form, and it is also a critical period for children to build self-confidence. It is very important to cultivate children's self-confidence. In the usual activities, we can observe that children with strong self-confidence are cheerful and active in games, sports, art design, calculation and other activities. The establishment of self-confidence is conducive to cultivating children's good psychological quality and healthy personality, making them more stable on the road of growth, better adapting to future social life and laying a good foundation for success.

Second, the current factor analysis of children's lack of self-confidence

(A) the influence of family education factors

Due to social progress, economic development and changes in family structure, the proportion of only children is increasing day by day. Parents devote all their love and care to their children. Parents often regard their children as weak and passive protection objects and do everything instead. Parents expect too much from their children and blindly set high standards and strict requirements for their children. It is difficult for children to meet their parents' requirements and lack successful experience, which leads to inferiority complex.

(B) the ability level differences between peers.

Because of the differences in genetic quality, family, environment and education, children's abilities, behaviors, personalities and intelligence are different. In group activities, some relatively weak children are very different from their peers in both body and ability. These differences and comparisons make these children have self-denial, thus showing inferiority and self-confidence.

(C) the impact of educational outlook

Children come to kindergarten from their families, and the adults they face have changed from parents to teachers because of various environmental changes. The teacher is an authority figure in the class, and everything he says and does affects the children. Teachers often unconsciously give many opportunities and tasks to children with strong ability in teaching, while ignoring children with weak ability, which invisibly affects the relationship between classes, peers and these children, and children's self-confidence is naturally hit.

Third, the strategic thinking on cultivating children's self-confidence in games.

Only by taking part in practical activities, using the brain, hands and mouth can children master knowledge and learn new skills, which is the foundation of improving self-confidence. "Regulations on Children's Work" points out that "games are basic activities, entertaining and entertaining", which establishes the position of games in kindergarten activities. We cultivate children's self-confidence in game activities in the following ways.

(A) in the game, give every child an equal opportunity to perform.

In kindergarten, teachers' attitude and care for each child is very important. As a teacher, we must always pay more attention to them, create conditions for their success in game activities, and improve their self-confidence. For example, in the language activity area, many beautiful and interesting story pictures are posted on the wall of the language area. These colorful and vivid pictures quickly attracted children's attention. Everyone suddenly gathered around the picture, pointing to the picture and telling stories to their companions, arguing while talking: "Listen to me!" " ""listen to me! " "I said first! "... looking at the children's enthusiasm for telling stories, I think some children in the class are timid and afraid of performance. Why not hold a game and let all the children participate? Let every child have an equal opportunity to tell and express himself equally. So a "story performance game activity" was designated, and every child on stage could get a small five-pointed star. I put forward different requirements according to different levels of children. For example, for children with slow language development, I ask them to try their best to complete words. For children with better thinking development, I ask them to express what they know with rich vocabulary. When children tell stories they know with beautiful pictures loudly and fluently, they also inspire their enthusiasm for telling stories, arouse their desire for expression and greatly enhance their self-confidence.

(2) In the game, children of different levels teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

Some children are cheerful and active in various activities because of their strong ability, and like to play games with their peers. Children with weak abilities are emotionally unstable and like to play alone, so they are often in a leading position in the game. As a teacher, we should deeply understand the situation of children and put forward different requirements for children at different levels according to their specialties. At the starting point of different requirements, encourage and support children, help them achieve different success, experience different happiness and gain common self-confidence.

(c) Promoting cooperation and participation among children in games.

Cooperation is the catalyst for success. It is not enough to cultivate children's self-confidence only with the care of teachers. Peer acceptance and care also affect the enhancement of children's self-confidence.

In a previous internship class, there was a child with poor ability. In the role game performance, a child said, "He knows nothing, don't want him!" " At this moment, the unconfident child suddenly walked away. At this time, I found out and went over and asked him, "What do you want to play?" He didn't speak, so I encouraged him to say, "What role do you want to play? Tell your friends bravely that the teacher believes you can do it. " As a result, with constant encouragement, the child said what role he wanted to play. Then I told all the children that although his acting skills were not very good, he was very serious, or he could play the role of welcoming guests at the door first and then perform some simple roles, so that he could give it a try. When I said this, the children accepted the poor child in a friendly way and helped and cooperated in a friendly way.

(d) In the game, let the children practice boldly.

Active participation in various activities is an important source of children's self-confidence. In game activities, children's hands and brains can increase their knowledge and skills, know their own abilities, increase their successful experience and experience the happiness of success. Every child has his own hobbies, and children are very devoted and confident in activities in their favorite fields. Therefore, in addition to preparing enough materials and a wide area for children to play games, teachers should also let children freely choose the content of games according to their own wishes, so that children can do what they can, and their self-confidence can be naturally established.
