Look around and you'll see that low self-esteem is becoming an epidemic! Raising your child's self-esteem takes time, but here's 5 quick ways to help them become more socially and academically involved.
1. Write down 10 positive words. Have your child recite each one back to you, then have them think of ways that each word represents them.
2. Help your child write out 3 goals that they would like to accomplish this school year.
3. Create an art project with them using an 8X10 picture frame, inside have them cut out pictures of family, friends, pets, and anything that makes them happy. Make that be the first thing they see when they wake up in the morning. That will put a smile on their face.
4. Place yourself in their shoes. You'll find communicating with them becomes much more active.
5. Ask your child questions such as: How was your day? Did you learn anything new in school today? Who did you sit with during lunch?
These are five wonderful ways to help build your child's self-esteem, positive thinking and confidence. Anytime a child accomplishes a goal, their self-esteem soars!
