How Maternal Behavior Shapes a Child's Personality | Olga Ibragimova | TEDxCAU Women
In this insightful exploration of personal development, this TEDx speech reveals how internal barriers and self-confidence are deeply rooted in childhood experiences, particularly shaped by parental interactions. Drawing from a powerful metaphor of a child learning to walk - falling yet persistently rising with parental support - the narrative emphasizes that our self-belief is fundamentally constructed through early experiences of encouragement and support. Parents play a critical role in either fostering resilience or inadvertently creating self-doubt through their approach to a child's attempts and failures. The key message is that internal barriers are not fixed limitations, but learned responses that can be consciously reshaped through self-awareness, compassionate self-talk, and deliberate action. By recognizing the origins of our fears, challenging negative narratives, and taking small, courageous steps outside our comfort zones, we can gradually build genuine self-confidence. Ultimately, this journey of overcoming internal barriers is not just a personal transformation, but a powerful way to break generational patterns of self-limitation, turning our potential into a dynamic landscape of continuous growth and self-belief. Olga Ibragimova is a seasoned practical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, currently serving as the coordinator of the Student Support Department at The Uzbek International School Invento. Her life's work focuses on one profound question: How does a woman's confidence influence the development of her child's personality?Throughout her career, Olga has: ✔ Worked in an orphanage, providing crucial emotional support to children without families, helping them find inner strength.
✔ Led numerous consultations with families, guiding mothers on how to foster confidence and instill it in their children.
✔ Conducted extensive research on the impact of maternal insecurity and developed practical strategies to empower mothers and change their outlook for the better.
