Self Confidence
It has always been considered that self confidence is a good thing to have! When you believe in your abilities, you are more likely to take on challenges and perform better in various areas of life, whether it’s work, relationships, or personal goals. In general, it has been shown that people who have self-confidence are happier in life, set higher goals and have a more positive outlook on life. Confidence allows you to take control of your life and pursue what you truly want, rather than being held back by fear or self-doubt.
How do you gain self confidence for free?
This is where education enters in. If you know how to study and can learn subjects and apply them, you will increase your self-confidence. This is self evident. However in school they don’t teach you how to study effectively. In Smart Bubble Gum we show you how to study. Plus we apply this knowledge in finding the best educational apps.
Donald Trump, Joe Biden
Two stellar examples of self-confidence are Donald Trump and Joe Biden. No amount of invalidation or criticism seems to affect them. Whether you agree with either is not the point. What we are pointing out here is that in order to get a lot done it helps to be confident!

Pick the best materials that are relevant.
One mistake that many schools make is that they don’t necessarily use the best educational materials. These are the text books that have proven to produce results, meaning that students learn from them and know they can apply what they have learned, and feel good and confident about it. I recall that Saxon Math 6/7 was a book that my son used successfully to learn arithmetic. Next year school gave him a book from a different publisher, and I asked myself why? Why did he not proceed with Saxon Math 7/8 when he had been doing so well with the earlier book. Never change materials when students are doing well with the materials they are working with. At least investigate and verify if they are doing well with the material! One bad habit that schools have is the desire to change materials and go with the latest flavors.
There is so much study material available.
But not all of it is that good. Be on the look out for the best. The real test is: is my kid or student having an easy time learning the content and can he/she use it? Keep in mind that what works well for one student may not necessarily work for another student. But after a while you get good at figuring it out, and you will find the best. Never give up on a student when they can’t learn something, it may just be that the study material is not good!
