How does self-esteem instill confidence in kids?
Self-esteem means being aware of one’s qualities. It is an overall opinion that we have of ourselves. For instance- how we see our limitations and abilities. When we have healthy self-esteem, it makes us feel good about ourselves and we see ourselves as someone who deserves the respect of others. Most kids go through dips in their self-esteem in their growing stage which may affect their way of tackling pressures.
Things such as entering a new school or moving into a new house or family tiffs can change how kids perceive themselves. Nevertheless, things like these can usually be worked on with the help of parents and adults who surround kids. Few ways that you can use as a parent to help your kids are-
Be affectionate to them and show your love
Show them that you value their effort without expecting perfection
Motivate them to face challenges and make bigger plans to accomplish things
Encourage them to showcase their opinions and ideas
Be an example for your kids
Ask them what do they enjoy doing or things that they like
Recognize their feelings and help them to express
Challenge the perception they have
Aid them to discover their talents and themselves
Spend some quality time together
