UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Self-esteem enhancement and safe dialogue

A child from a marginalized caste background who performs well but still shows low confidence is likely experiencing the effects of social stigma and identity-related stress, rather than a lack of ability.

An effective guidance intervention in such a situation focuses on building the child's self-esteem while creating a safe space for open, respectful dialogue about their experiences and feelings.

This approach helps the child recognize their own competence and worth, rather than ignoring the underlying issue, imposing strict discipline, or relying on public praise, none of which address the root cause of low confidence.

Therefore, an appropriate guidance intervention would focus on self-esteem enhancement and safe dialogue.
