Among various benefits of art for young children, this article highlights the emotional development aspect, specifically boosting self-confidence through art activities. The definition of self-confidence as having trust in one's self, clear knowledge of one's strengths and limitations, and assurance of one's ability to handle a variety of situations (Kostelnik, Stein, Whiren, & Soderman, 2006) was used for purposes of this paper and research project. Self-esteem and self-confidence come from having a sense of belonging, believing that oneself is capable, and knowing that contributions are valued and worthwhile. Lack of self-esteem has been shown to lead to a multitude of physical, mental, and emotional problems (Kernis, 2005), eventually resulting in overall academic and social under-performance, as well as behavior problems. Thus, it is vital for early childhood educators to provide an environment in which children are nurtured in a positive sense of self (Mayesky, 2003). This article presents a case study that illustrates how a 10-week art intervention program helped to increase children's self-confidence. This research acknowledged the importance of teacher's emotional support, specific feedback and open-ended questions, and use of open-ended materials.
