Does My Child Lack Self-Confidence? — Parent Test
63 questions·10 min·5 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 18 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test looks at your child's self-confidence, based on what a parent observes: belief in their own abilities, how comfortable they are speaking in front of others, what they do with an attempt that failed, and how comparing themselves with classmates affects them. These are separate things, and the report looks at each one on its own.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Adolescence in Crisis, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
Does My Child Lack Self-Confidence? — Parent Test — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at your child's self-confidence, based on what a parent observes: belief in their own abilities, speaking up, coping with a failed attempt, and comparison with others. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 18 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This interactive test looks at your child's belief in their own abilities, speaking up, how a failed attempt is experienced, comparison with classmates, and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Belief in their abilities If your child says “I won't be able to do it” before even trying. If, faced with a new activity, your child says “I can do this” and gets started. Speaking up If, in class, your child keeps their hand down even when they know the answer. If, when the class or the group is looking for an idea, your child raises their hand and offers theirs. Trial and error If, faced with a failure, your child cries, tears up the page or leaves the table. If, the day after a setback, your child picks the activity up where they left off. Comparison with others If your child compares themselves with their classmates and concludes that they fall short. If your child sets their own goal and sticks to it, whatever the rankings. Readiness to change If what you have just described weighs on your life as a parent. If you want to take action to better support your child in this area.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Your view of your child's self-confidence- The way you explain your child's self-confidence, before the test tells you anything. This section does not measure any difficulty or produce a level: it simply records your initial view.
- ●Belief in their abilities- How your child expects to do before they even start. The report looks at this forecast in its own right, regardless of what your child is actually capable of.
- ●Speaking up- Your child's willingness to put themselves forward in front of others. This dimension looks at what your child allows themselves to say when people are listening, which is separate from how confident they are in what they know.
- ●Relationship with trial and error- What a mistake means to your child: a step along the way, or a verdict. The report looks at what they do next, because that is where their willingness to try again is decided.
- ●Comparison to others- The yardstick your child uses to see where they stand. The report looks at where that measure of themselves comes from: their own progress, or the group around them.
- ●Readiness to change- The weight you give the situation, kept separate from your wish to act to better support your child. The two rarely match, and the report takes that gap into account in what it suggests.
Reference frameworks and authors
This questionnaire was designed to help you take stock. It does not reproduce a published validated scale and is not a clinical assessment: its results are a starting point for reflection, to discuss with a professional if needed.
Why take this test?

This test looks at your child's self-confidence, based on what a parent observes: belief in their own abilities, how comfortable they are speaking in front of others, what they do with an attempt that failed, and how comparing themselves with classmates affects them.

The questionnaire explores 5 areas: Your view of your child's self-confidence, Belief in their abilities, Speaking up, Relationship with trial and error, Comparison to others. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
