Dear Parent,
What does it mean when a child has ‘Low self-esteem?’
In most cases, children with low self-esteem feel un-accepted in some way. It’s hard to figure out where a child develops these feelings the problem is the effects on their future can be scary…
Low self-esteem is related to low self-confidence, insecurity, underachievement, anxiety, depression, acting-out behavior, sleep problems and being a loner. Low Self- Esteem is the underlying cause of Fear, Anger, Panic Attacks (Self-Esteem Attacks), Lack of Assertiveness, Depression and Eating Disorders.
Once Low Self-esteem is formed, the fear and anxiety that come with it affects everything someone does, says, and thinks. Kids with Low Self-Esteem turn into adults that will avoid social settings and avoid sharing their opinions! Some isolate, become people pleasers, and remain passive. Others get aggressive and cause havoc. All people with low self-esteem sabotage their lives to some degree.
The key to making the cure stick is repetition. I’ll reveal to you how simple it actually is to cure low-esteem. But more importantly, I’ll show your child how to quickly and easily develop high self-esteem that will last your child a life time…
Here are some simple steps you could take right now….
- Be generous with praise. You must develop the habit of looking for situations in which your child is doing a good job, displaying talents, or demonstrating positive character traits. Remember to praise him for jobs well done and for effort.
- Teach positive self-statements. It’s important for you to redirect your child’s negative beliefs about herself and to teach her how to think in positive ways.
- Avoid criticism that takes the form of ridicule or shame. Blame and negative judgments are at the core of poor self-esteem and can lead to emotional disorders.
- Teach your child about decision making and to recognize when she has made good decisions. Let her "own" her problems. If she solves them, she gains confidence in herself. If you solve them, she'll remain dependent on you. Take the time to answer questions. Help her think of alternative options.
- Show your child that you can laugh at yourself. Show him that life doesn't need to be serious all the time and that some teasing is all in fun. Your sense of humor is important for his well-being.
Countless studies reveal that Physical Exercise, a Supportive, Nurturing Environment, and Associating with Like-Minded Kids can build High Self-Esteem long term.
But- where can you find such a positive experience for your child in a sometimes overly-negative world??
I’ve got the answer and the cure for you…
