It has been known for a long time that a person’s self-esteem is formed in childhood.
Therefore, parents must understand the degree of personal responsibility.
What 3 tricks will help raise a child with adequate self-esteem
Praise only when children deserve it.
Some parents are so afraid of raising an insecure child that they praise him on a constant basis for eating, sleeping, going for a walk, etc.
This is the wrong position, experts say.
If you want your child to adequately assess himself, his personal abilities and opportunities, then the praise must be deserved.
Give up the habit of constantly criticizing
Some adults believe that constantly reminding a child of his or her imperfections and shortcomings helps him or her become a better person. This is, of course, a misconception.
Some children may feel that they are simply incapable of anything. This does not help them to form an adequate image of themselves.
Allow children to speak up and take their opinions into account
Many people want to "hide" behind authority and not allow their children the luxury of having their own opinion. But then you shouldn't expect the child to have adequate self-esteem.
Children get used to the fact that they need to constantly listen to someone and not have their own opinion. It is unlikely that you want this for your children.
