Both adults and children often struggle with a lack of healthy self-esteem.
Some people constantly doubt themselves and their abilities, while others may overestimate themselves.
Both approaches are not suitable because self-assessment must be adequate.
How to identify children with unreasonably high self-esteem
Consider themselves superior to others
Such a child does not consider other children to be equal to him: he considers himself to be more talented, smart, worthy of respect and interesting. Therefore, relationships with other children can be built in a very difficult way.
Children with high self-esteem expect to be treated "privilegedly" and are extremely irritated by the fact that people do not meet their demands.
Never admits guilt
Experts believe that this sign is one of the most striking. A child with inflated self-esteem, even in the presence of irrefutable evidence, will deny his guilt or attribute it to other people.
This habit produces very irresponsible adults.
Doesn't listen to advice
Children with inflated self-esteem are confident that they can figure everything out perfectly well without other people’s advice, which is not true due to the limited experience of theirs.
Advice is not accepted even from parents or teachers.
