Some Tips For Building A Child’s Self Esteem
Parents are very powerful figures in the life of any child. First of all, they are responsible for conceiving the child and for bringing that child into this world so everything that comes after there will still be held somewhat responsible. The mother best of all has a special emotional connection with her children while fathers are mostly the ones who deal with practical things in raising children.
A perfect relationship between parents and children will be when the parents are role models of providing love and support within the family while the children are obedient but to a certain degree also independent in living their lives. In this world however there is no such thing as perfect but this should not stop us from trying to build an ideal relationship.
There can always be a health compromise but the most important thing that parents should remember is that the times when the children are still young is the only time they can make the biggest impact. The children are innately obedient and loving towards their parents so it is up to the parents to use this advantage in instilling good things to their children so they grow up to be good and strong willed individuals.
One thing that parents can help a child build is their childrens self esteem. Parents should also be aware that aside from being crucial to building a childs self esteem, it is so easy to damage their self esteem if parents do not deal with their children properly. Parents can contribute in developing positive feelings of self worth in their children by helping them in a lot of aspects including the social and academic factors. Let us look some tips that will help the parents out there to build their childrens self esteem.
Constant and sincere appreciation will make your child feel special. Most parents tend to only communicate with their children if they need something from them or if they need to correct them in whatever they are doing. This is not a good practice. Parents should take the time to talk to their children about good things that they have done.
Make sure that whatever you say is sincere and appropriate. Do not over praise because as in anything else too much praising can bring out a negative result. When you really need to comment on something bad, do not be judgmental instead phrase your comment in a positive form.
Your children may not be mature but they know when they are simply being corrected without explanation. Offer a reason why they are being corrected or better yet work with your children to arrive at a solution to make things better so such a situation will not happen again.
If you have children with learning disability, make sure that you very well understand the nature of your childrens problem and vow to closely work with teachers and other important people to make her environment friendly to her despite her disability. All these things are not full proof shields against possible crushing of self esteem but it will help them deal with the harsh realities of like with a perspective that they are tough and can meet challenges head on. They may fail but they will get back on their feet faster than everyone else.

Sandra Baptist tells us how we all can learn to exude that trait that makes us feel confident about what we are doing and about who we are.
1. Increase your knowledge
The best method to increasing your self-confidence is to work on improving your knowledge and abilities. Knowledge IS Power!
Read books as a means to an end. Read books to gain information about what you need to know. Read as an end in itself. Read for pleasure.
As a young person Ive always read, but you know what?
I still lacked confidence in some areas.
No! Reading is not all. Still you need to .
2. Like yourself
Liking yourself is equivalent to your self-worth and accepting yourself as you are. Your feelings about yourself are probably the most important feelings you can have. If you do not love yourself then who will? Be proud of who you are and what you are and forget the self-talk.
Self-esteem is directly influenced by the negative and positive thoughts you hear. These may be thoughts heard in your environment as well as thoughts in your own mind. Your self-talk! This is extremely Powerful! What are YOU thinking about yourself everyday?
How come everyone else can do this, except me?
OR
Im so grateful to be involved in this project!
Trust me it does make a difference!
3. Focus on your strengths
Each one of us has our own particular strengths. Be thankful for these and capitalize on them.
For example one of my strengths is writing and listening. Ive always been called shy or quiet when I was younger and was always told to speak up or say something! I thought something was definitely wrong with me as everyone else in my family could not shut up!
Now Im older, Ive made those strengths work for me. Theyre now my business!
Try building on your strengths by writing down in a journal all those traits you like about yourself. If this feels too hard to you, ask someone else what is it they like about you as a person or what they think you are good at.
When you have your list, focus on them and forget your weaknesses!
4. Remind yourself and acknowledge your success daily
Go ahead! Think about when you felt successful last year, last week or indeed yesterday! Thinking about your past successes makes you a stronger person, better able to handle and cope with todays challenges.
Whats going to be better than to say to yourself, I can do this, Ive done it before!
Aah! Now Thats confidence!
On the heels of this is the daily celebration of your successes, no matter how small or how insignificant YOU think they are. Observe and celebrate them!
I do this every night and also use this exercise with my clients. Either use a journal or simply tell yourself the ten things that you praise and acknowledge yourself for. Dont stop until you get to ten.
If youve had a particularly bad day simply recognize that youve had a bad day and tomorrow will be better!
5. Visualize your future success
What could be more exciting than seeing in your mind how it feels to have succeeded?
Did you know that athletes use this all the time? Especially those high jumpers!
Successful people use visualization regularly. This is because they know that our minds cannot distinguish the difference between something real and something imagined.
Creating a detailed mental picture increases the likelihood of success, and boosts your self confidence.
They are many ways to do this. For example if you are going for a job interview, you can write down how it will feel to answer all the interviewer questions easily and effortlessly. Or you can go into a peaceful place, close your eyes and truly visualize yourself getting that job!
6. Get rid off the nay-Sayers
Your environment has a great effect on the confidence that you, as an individual, displays.
Environment here could be family, friends, political or any other strong influence.
Surround yourself with people that love and support you.
Those people, who tend to criticize and constantly put you down, simply ignore them. Usually they are and can do no better than you anyway.
Join supportive groups online, if there are none in your area. Get a coach who really listens to you understands you and helps you build your confidence in yourself.
7. Develop an attitude
Develop an attitude of excellence. Give of your best at all times. Be cheerful and happy. Shock everyone with your attitude of confidence!
In this way, no one can declare that you do not have self-confidence, not even yourself.
Its true that people with a high degree of self-confidence are normally more likely to be successful all other aspects being equal than those who work in a less confident manner.
So what are you going to radiate?
