5 Easy Ways to Help Your Child Build Self-Esteem with Erin Pastushok
Hi Erin! How does self-esteem play a role in the success of young learners?
Erin: Children with healthy self-esteem have the confidence to try new things, even if they might fail. They are able to cope when they make mistakes and will even try again. Confident children are able to assert themselves and have the confidence to ask for help when needed. All of these are helpful attributes when it comes to learning new skills and information. Self-esteem is closely linked to academic performance. Students with high self-esteem tend to perform better academically because they are more likely to set higher goals, work diligently, and seek help when needed. Positive self-esteem enhances social skills and relationships with peers and teachers. Students with high self-esteem are more likely to participate in classroom discussions, collaborate with classmates, and develop supportive friendships.
How can we recognize if a child has low self-esteem?
Erin: Children with low self-esteem may talk negatively about themselves, saying things like, “I can’t do that,” “I don’t know how,” or “My hair isn’t nice like hers.” These children might avoid social situations and have a difficult time moving past simple mistakes, becoming easily upset if they cannot do something or feel that they did something wrong. Low self-esteem can lessen a student’s desire to learn, ability to focus, and willingness to take risks.
It sounds like having healthy self-esteem is influential in a child’s success both academically and socially. Can you share five ways caregivers can help children build self-esteem?
Erin: Gladly! While there are many ways to help a child build confidence, I find these tactics to be successful.
Building self-esteem is a journey that requires patience, consistency, and unconditional love. With your support and guidance, your child can grow into the confident and resilient individual they are meant to be.
