Confidence is earned, not bought, and Kim Kardashian has an excellent tip for helping foster self-esteem in her kids. The Kardashians star, who shares North, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 4, with ex Kanye West, recently detailed exactly what she says to her children to teach them to believe in themselves.
Self-Esteem
In an interview with Mav Carter on Mavericks Wednesday, Kardashian said, “I always tell my kids, ‘I’m so proud of you.’ And I am so proud of them. And I will say that, but I also say, ‘You should be so proud of yourself.’ Because I don’t ever want them feeling like they need other people’s approval and other people’s standards. You should be proud of yourself because you did that.”
This is so good! I love the idea of teaching kids to be proud of themselves so they don’t do everything with a goal of pleasing or impressing others.
Happiness
“I think everyone’s goals in life are very personal,” the SKIMS founder continued in the interview. “And everyone doesn’t have to have the same standards or the same goals to feel like they’ve made it. I think happiness is when you make it.”
She wants her kids to be happy, no matter what they do when they grow up. “I want them to do whatever makes them happy,” Kardashian said. “I already see what they’re into and the creative energy from them. And I kind of can tell, maybe, where my two older ones are going to go. North for sure feels like a creative. Saint feels like a creative. The little ones, Chicago and Psalm … if you asked Psalm what he wants to do, he wants to be like a truck driver or anything with a truck. That’s been his Halloween costume for like three years.”
“Chi Chi is just a princess, so I don’t know what she’ll end up being,” she added. “But I definitely see it in North, and I think that I won’t ever push her to do anything. It’s whatever she finds her passion in … I just want them to find their passion. Whatever they want to do, I’ll be happy with that.”
Quality Time
In a recent interview with Vogue Italia, Kardashian opened up about raising four kids.
“There’s a lot in a household with four, four different personalities. I feel so lucky and blessed to have help, but no matter how much help you have, your babies want their mommy, you have to be the one to solve every problem and act like you have it all together.”
“I have so much respect for parents and now I can’t believe what my mom went through,” she added.
