Building Self Esteem In Your Child

Some Solutions To Help Your Child Build Positive Self-Esteem

Encourage your child to pay compliments to him or herself by modeling that behavior. Say, “I like the way you passed the ball to others during the game.” Rather than, “Not everyone can be a good soccer player.” Encourage your child to use positive self-talk. Example: “ I like myself.” “I am good at _______.”
Catch your child doing something good. Let your child know what you saw or heard.
For every one negative statement you make toward your child, you have to share ten positive comments or compliments. Keep track. As parents, we may not realize how many negative statements we make.
Begin to share with your child how unique he or she is. Share things like: “You are the only boy I see that smiling all the time.” “You clean the dishes better than anyone I know. How do you do this?” “Why is it so easy for you to help me. Not many kids your age can do that.”
Help your child to set goals.

Teach your child that it’s not uncommon for a person who sets a goal not to reach or achieve the goal the first time. “It’s okay to fail, but it’s not okay to quit.” When your child fails, help him or her to set a new goal. Make sure the goal is realistic and achievable. Don’t set goals that are overwhelming. Set small goals first. Work on bigger goals after success is achieved.
