Hi dear Nishtha! Adolscence is the stage of formation of self concept and perception about self is formed based on what others think about them. Please make sure nobody either at home or in school or in neighbourhood is bullying the child, making personal attacks on appearances, performance in school, group behaviour etc. Bullying will make the child loose self-confidence. You need to boost child's self confidence which can be done in following ways: 1. Praising the child. 2. Not comparing the child with classmates, friends or siblings. 3. Not to make personal attacks on physical appearance, performance etc. 4. Assigning responsibilities and praising them on successful completion of the task assigned. 5. Praising the child on issues on which child feels less confident such as dressing up in this case. 6. Allowing the child to buy clothes of their choice without passing judgements. 7. Letting the child have a say in matters pertaining to self. Try and connect with your child and be their friend to understand them better and support them no what .Give them unconditional love.
