How to Increase Your Child's Self-Esteem
When children first view themselves via their parents' eyes as neonates, they begin to build a sense of self. Your children are absorbing everything you say and do, including your body language and facial expressions. More than anything else, your words and deeds as a parent have an impact on how they build self-esteem.
Praise for accomplishments, no matter how minor, will make children feel proud; allowing children to complete tasks autonomously will make them feel strong and capable. In contrast, making disparaging remarks or negatively contrasting a youngster with another will make them feel worthless.
Avoid using strong language or inflammatory statements. Just like physical blows, remarks like "What a stupid thing to do!" or "You act more like a baby than your tiny brother!" hurt.
There are a few additional steps to taking a child's self-esteem.-
1️⃣ Encourage your child to develop new skills. There are new things for children to learn at every age.
2️⃣ When instructing children, lead by example and give assistance first.
3️⃣ Give your child praise, but use discretion.
4️⃣ Set a positive example for others.
5️⃣ Avoid harsh criticism.
6️⃣ Focus on strengths.
7️⃣ Allow the children to contribute and assist.
Empowering parents and teachers to become intrinsic contributors to the holistic growth and development of children, surpassing the confines of mere academics.
