A child who is self assured can become a confident, secure, happy, well-adjusted and successful human being. The best way to get that success is nurturing their self-esteem and giving them love and care. This can help them solve all the problems which they face during their life with ease.
The best way to build the child’s esteem would be first thing is accept the child as they are. You do not have to compare your child with somebody else’s. You should show them how to learn and grow from their and others mistakes. Mainly teach your child that nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistake. A child with low self esteem become frustrated and call themselves ’stupid’ and vowing to ‘never try that again.’
Help your child discover their abilities and talents, and encourage them to build on and improve. Praise a child not only for improvements in abilities and skills, but also for the traits they naturally possess.
Encourage your child to make positive choices. Open an honest dialog with your child and discuss the possibilities with them. Children who learn skills for making positive choices when they are younger are well-prepared for the tougher choices they have to make when they are older.
Ensure that you and your partner spend lots of quality time with your child, at least once a week. Take time to talk and keep in touch. If you find it difficult to squeeze in quality time during a hectic week, take the time to talk about things during the drive to school or while they are helping you put the groceries away.
