The Developing Child - Self Esteem

 I can!

 

 A high self esteem comes from knowing ones strengths and weakness and believing in one self.

Healthy self-esteem is like a 

child's armour against the challenges of the world. 

Self esteem is how much a person values himself.

The self esteem the child gets
from doing real work,
by himself or together in a group,
is of great benefit.

It will also clearly show how important he/she is,

and that he/she is part of something, 

that he belongs,

that he/she has an important role,

and most important - that he/she matters!

 

When your child gets a feeling of  belonging, this will increase self esteem. 

You give your child the feeling of belonging when doing family things together. 

And of course by believing in him.

Another helpful tip:

Instead of you always cleaning and tidying up your child's room, it will certainly help if you occasionally set aside time when you are not too rushed and clean the room together.

Your child will understand that work is for everyone and working together is fun. 

 High self esteem comes from being loved!
