In this video you’ll learn 5 different tips for how to raise a child with MUCH more self confidence in children under the age of 4 or 5 then other children their age… so they can more easily overcome fears, challenges and be less prone to negative peer pressure as they grow up.
And as you watch the video, there’s a spot where I talk about Einstein, but I really meant to say Edison… and wasn’t going to re-shoot a whole 22 minute video to fix the mistake

Great video…I love the practical application at the end of the presentation.
Thanks for the examples at the end. Do you have suggestions for kids of blended families: discipline, jealousy? and how to find a good parenting class?
Einstein made the nuclear fission but had nothing to do with the lightbulb, he was only 1y/o when the lightbulb was first comercialised. You probably want to talk about Thomas Edisson. All your points about child education seem very true though. Continue the good work!!
Thanks a lot for the great examples. My daughter is 2 now so i will star taking the extra time to actually teach her persistent.
Your welcome Maria, this stuff has sure been paying off for my little guy. If you feel like ever posting back and giving an update I’d love to hear from you
I have a 4, 2 and new year old. With my biggest fear being that they will not have the work ethic to make them successful. I look and see kids lazy and want to know why this is becoming so common.
I hear you on that one Jeremy, when we look around at the people who succeed in life compared to those who don’t, the difference is that those who succeed just seem to work a little harder then everyone else. Stay tuned to the blog in the future as I’ve got some good posts on teaching work ethic coming out soon!
When I have children I am going to do everything I can in my power to instill power and confidence. Once I know that is innately a part of them I know I won’t have worry about them so much.

Thanks for all your advice and suggestions. These are actions that wouldn’t have come naturally to me, but I feel it is worth it to change how you react to your children in order to get these researched results. I love your website…so interesting and unique..I’m addicted!
Thank you for the video and examples of how to apply the confidence building strategies to everyday life. We are interested in learning more of the techniques you have used. We have a daughter who just turned two. Do you have information that focuses on this age? We are most concerned with coaching Eden to think for herself throughout her life to help her confidently navigate her own life.
I have a program you should get called “Imprinting Success Before 5″ that is specficially geared towards teaching children under the age of 5 to think like successful people think… and it absolutely covers getting children how to think for themselves and not just play “follow the leader” their whole lives. You can find it at http://www.parenting4success.com
I want to instill strong sense of direction in life and ability to recognize supporting structures and people and align yourself with them. Also, ability to remove yourself from the thick of the emotions and as accurately as possible evaluate course that you are currently on. Persistence is good, but one can persistently go in the wrong direction.
Found the video interesting however my daughter is approching 7 and I am worried it’s too late to get this confidence and self will. She shys away from anything remotly hard and compares herself agaisnt her peers. I fear that she is falling behind at school for her fear of failure. Any advice would be greatly recieved.

Hi I have a daughter that 4 and is hyper active, and everything you talk about she is already there. She is not afraid to speak her mind in a respectable way of course, she is not shy at all she is very approachable her memory is sharp as a whip. She pays attention to every thing if she sees it once 9 times out of 10 she got it. I was just wondering will she keep what she already has instilled in her as she get older, because some kids seems smart at an early age and looses it when they get older.
I think she probably will retain the ability to reach her potential, it’s now going to be up to you to shape another set of choices. It wouldn’t fall under Imprinting anymore, but it’s just as likely. I’ll make sure to address this issue in an upcoming newsletter or blog post, so stay tuned.
