Nicole:
Hi. it’s Nicole. Today, Chelsea is going to be talking to you about your child’s level of social confidence and how to make it work for you and not against you. In the next episode, she’ll be sharing some ways you can improve on and build your child’s level of social confidence. But today we’re really going to be focusing on why it’s so important to meet your child where they are with respect to their level of social confidence. You’re child will be most successful when they’re most confident and so, we’re going to talk about what social confidence is, so you can determine where your child falls on the spectrum of social confidence whether they have a low, medium, or high level of social confidence and we’re going to talk about exactly what types of jobs fit each of those levels of social confidence on the social confidence spectrum. So, Chelsea give me your definition of social confidence.
Chelsea:
Social confidence is your ability to manage and relate to your own emotions and also to see how other people are feeling and how to respond so that you can have a successful and engaging conversation with them.
Nicole:
Yeah, I think that there is this concept of emotional intelligence. Right? Being able to identify your emotions and respond appropriately and manage your own emotions, but emotional intelligence also involves being able to recognize other people’s emotions and respond to and manage them effectively.
Chelsea:
Right.
Nicole:
And these are tools and skills that everyone, you know, falls on a different area in the spectrum. Right? And it doesn’t make anyone better or worse than anyone else. It’s kind of just like your unique strength zone. Some people are just – it’s their strength that they can read a room and read a conversation and respond appropriately or respond the best way they can and that person might be a high or might have a high level of social confidence. Whereas someone else might have a medium or low level of social confidence. They can still be super effective and great at their job, but they’re in a position where they don’t have to struggle with tough situations where they are going to be challenged in reading the room, reading conversations, reading other people’s emotions and responding to all these different kinds of situations. So, again we’ll talk about – later – how to improve your levels or your child’s level of social confidence. But for now, Chelsea, can you describe what it looks like for someone to have a high level of social confidence, a medium level of social confidence, and a low level of social confidence?
