Many people are used to thinking that only children with low self-esteem can have problems.
But this is an unfair statement.
Any inadequate perception of oneself, one’s own strengths and capabilities leads to difficulties in social adaptation.
How to behave correctly with a child if he has high self-esteem
Be careful with praise
Sometimes parents themselves form an unreasonably high self-esteem of the child when they start praising him without reason. Remember that praise makes sense only when it is deserved.
If you celebrate every trivial action of children with admiration, it will form a sense of superiority without due grounds.
Notice that there is always something to strive for
If a child thinks that he has reached his maximum, then he will not have the desire to develop and become better. No one will benefit from such a position.
Experts recommend that parents demonstrate that development has unlimited potential.
React correctly to other people's achievements yourself
If a child constantly hears “I would have done better,” “there’s nothing special about it,” “she was just lucky,” “what an achievement,” then he or she is absorbing a toxic model of behavior and perception of others.
It is important to show that other people are also doing worthy things and that they can be looked up to.
