How to Understand That Your Child Has Self-Esteem Issues: Tips for Parents
Not every parent can accurately understand their child's self-esteem.
Experts note that there is no reason to worry if the child is independent in accordance with his age, believes in his real capabilities and strengths, and understands his needs.
If the child is too indecisive and constantly needs help from adults, then this is a reason to think.
In addition, the problem may also be indicated by the fact that the child is too self-confident, tries to solve everything on his own and almost never turns to his parents for advice or help.
The reasons vary.
Most often, they are in the behavior of adults. For example, if parents demand too much, devalue the child's achievements, or criticize him often.
At school age, self-esteem can be affected by failures in studies or in communication with classmates and teachers.
In adolescence, new questions arise. Communicating with peers, children constantly compare their capabilities, skills, things. This also affects self-esteem.
If it is too low or too high, then all this ultimately leads only to more serious problems.
Therefore, it is important for mothers and fathers to build healthy and trusting relationships with their baby as early as possible, to constantly be interested in their child’s life and feelings, and to take appropriate measures in a timely manner.
