Boosting Your Child's Self-esteem

My psychologist cousin have told me before that the behavior of every kids have something to do with how their mother's emotions when she's carrying the baby on her womb. I may not have a baby yet but I do believe what she said. Boosting your child's self-esteem is also important. Below are the "Ten ways of boosting Child's Self-esteem".

1. Talk with your child. Talking early and often with your children helps them
trust you as a source of information and guidance.

2. Set high but realistic expectations. Paying attention to your children's
strengths, while acknowledging where they need assistance can help children
develop realistic self-expectations.

3. Build your child's self-esteem and confidence. Encourage your children to
make choices even if it means making mistakes. This is how children learn
and grow.

4. Keep your child healthy. Promote your children's physical, emotional, and
social health.

5. Support learning at home. Show that education is important to you and that
you value learning.

6. Communicate with your child's school. Communicate on a regular basis
with the school to stay informed and involved.

7. Encourage exploration and discovery. By encouraging your children to
develop their interests and seek opportunities to try new things you help them
make the most of the world around them.

8. Help your child develop good relationships. All children want to fit in and
belong. Helping your children develop friendships that affirm them will go a
long way to helping them build solid relationships as adults.

9. Keep your child safe. Teach your children safety procedures and how to
avoid dangerous situations.

10. Participate in community service. Children's positive energy and talents
can be acknowledged beyond the classroom when used to serve or help.
