This research is based on the important role of self-confidence that can affect students' learning success. Students who have confidence will be expressive and active in displaying or demonstrating their abilities. The confidence that arises in students certainly can not be separated from the important role of a teacher in the process of planting. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing what efforts teachers can make in fostering confidence in elementary school-age children. As for the writing, the method used is the study of literature. Based on the results obtained from the literature, the author can conclude that the teacher's efforts in fostering confidence in elementary school-age children including teachers serve as mentors, motivators and inspirations; foster a sense of responsibility; and help students be proud of themselves. The conclusion of this study is that the lack of confidence of students can be overcome by the efforts of teachers in fostering that confidence, fostering confidence is intended so that students are able to learn and develop their potential to the maximum. The advice that needs to be considered is that there needs to be special attention by the classroom teacher and other elements of the school in an effort to foster confidence.
