Unfortunately, many young people view themselves in a negative way, especially in terms of school or relationships with others. It is important that as a parent you help your child have good self-esteem, according to their abilities and skills. For it, you will have to find out what their competencies or areas of strength are.
Select these areas and look for ways to reinforce them and show it to him so that he realizes that if he wants to, he is capable of achieving things with perseverance and willpower. For example, If your child likes to paint, let him see how well he can do with effort in painting in this area.
Give opportunities
Children seem to have an innate need to help others. Providing opportunities for children to help is a very concrete way of showing your strengths and highlighting that you have something to offer your world. In addition to enhancing their abilities and strengths, helping others always helps children improve their self-esteem.
Have realistic expectations
Realistic expectations give your child a sense of control because they know how far they can go and what they should improve. The development of self-control goes hand in hand with self-esteem at any age and at any stage of life.
If your child has learning or other disabilities, it is important that you help him understand the nature of his problem so that he can know what your limitations are and also where you should improve or enhance your skills.
Many children have fantasies and misconceptions about their learning disabilities that increase their distress. Having realistic information can give YOUR child a greater sense of control and the feeling that things can be done to help the situation.
