Children may underestimate themselves or put themselves above others. All these are signs of unbalanced self-esteem.
Therefore, it is impossible to do without a serious and long conversation with the child, and sometimes it is even necessary to consult a psychologist to help the student reveal his potential, find and feel his own boundaries.
It is possible to understand that a child has problems with self-esteem, but it is important to pay close attention to him, observe his reactions and behavior. It is worth noting that it begins to form quite early - around three years.
How to understand that a child has problems with self-esteem
If a child is indecisive or overconfident, it means that a mistake was made in the process of upbringing that affected the child. For example, the parents could have been too demanding or often devalued his achievements.
At school age, all this can manifest itself more strongly.
The child may react too violently to failures, thinking that the world is unfair to him. At the same time, he will constantly criticize himself or those around him.
If self-esteem is low, then the student may often repeat that he will not learn some difficult topics, and that everyone else is smarter than him.
During adolescence, problems can become more serious.
Therefore, mothers and fathers cannot remain indifferent to the affairs of their child.
