Healthy self esteem is the single most important skill a child can develop to thrive in society. Simply, self esteem means being proud of ourselves. When kids feel secure "inside and outside" of themselves they can cope with life's many challenges.
When we help kids build self esteem we are teaching them to take pride of themselves, feel great about themselves, trust their emotions, celebrate achievements and to be their best "inside and outside".
As a reminder, self esteem fluctuates in children, because it is affected by their experiences, judgements and perceptions. As parents and teachers we have to be on the lookout for signs of both low and high self esteem.
There are no magic formulas for raising children with positive self esteem! However, this blog offers a guide. We must keep in mind this is a lifelong developmental process whose roots are established in early childhood.
