[VIDEO] How Can Parents Help Kids Grow Up With Confidence

People may have remembered Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach's Q&A answer, "I am confidently beautiful with a heart," but confidence is not only important in pageants or contests. In fact, a healthy self-esteem is vital in child development too because having confidence is a good measure of a child's overall mental health.

When kids feel confident about themselves, their strengths and their abilities, they often have good and healthy self-esteem. But in developing the self-esteem of a child, parents and adults play a significant role in molding them into confident individuals who are generally realistic, optimistic and who tend to enjoy life to the fullest and with a smile.

According to parenting advisor Eileen Hayes and psychologist Chireal Shallow, it is very important for parents to have a positive or optimistic outlook in life.
