Self-esteem can start in infancy. It evolves slowly over time. It can start because children feel safe, loved and accepted. It can begin when the baby receives positive attention and loving care. When babies are toddlers, they can do some things on their own. They feel good about themselves when they can use their new skills. Their self-esteem increases when parents pay attention, allow their children to try to smile and show that they are Proud.
As children grow older, self-esteem can also grow. Every time children try things, do things and learn things can be an opportunity for increased self-esteem. This can happen when a child:
- Towards the goal
- Learn everything at school
- Make friends
- Learn music, sports, cooking, technology skills
- Perform favorite activities
- Receive praise for good behavior.
- Try hard on something
- Do things that they are good at and enjoy
- Included by others, etc.
When children have self-confidence, they feel confident, capable and accept who they are. How parents can build self-esteem Every child is different. Self-confidence may be easier for some children. And for some as a baby gets older, he or she will outgrow this. But even if the child's self-esteem is low, it can be raised.
Here's what parents can do to help their children feel good about themselves:
- Help your child learn to do things. At all ages, there are new things for kids to learn. Even at a young age, learning to hold a cup or take the first step makes you feel proficient and happy. As your child gets older, things like learning to dress, read or ride a bike are opportunities for increased self-esteem.
When teaching your child to do something, show it and help them in the first place. Then let them do what they can, even if they do wrong. Make sure your child has the opportunity to learn, try and be proud.
Praise your child, but do it wisely. Of course, it is good to praise children. Your compliment is a way to show that you are proud. But do not praise too much. Praise that does not feel received is untrue.
- Praise the effort. Avoid focusing on praise only on results (such as getting an A). Instead, give your most praise for your hard work, progress, and attitude.
