 Boosting Your Child’s Self-esteem

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt

Montessori teachers are trained facilitators in the classroom, always ready to assist and direct. Their purpose is to stimulate the child's enthusiasm for learning and to guide it, without interfering with the child's natural desire to teach himself and become independent. Each child works through his individual cycle of activities, and learns to truly understand according to his own unique needs and capabilities.

 Self-esteem is a crucial issue for all children; we want our children to feel good about themselves so they can do their best.

Good self-esteem helps a child to be confident and affects an array of elements in his life. With a solid sense of self-esteem, he will get along with others, and be more likely to do well in school or anywhere else. Self-esteem is at the base of our accomplishments in life; without it, how will your child have the courage and confidence to strive for his goals?

 Here’s how to make sure your child gets his share.

 Help your child experience success. Let him find a place where he can shine, whether it’s sports, the arts, computers, or any other venue.

Let your child make decisions. Sports is a good vehicle to let your child make the many decisions required to play the game reasonably well. Offering children an opportunity to make choices is an important way to help them feel better about themselves. Confidence stems from accomplishments.

Provide positive feedback. Kids enhance their self-esteem when they learn how to respond to themselves in a positive way when the goals are attained.

 Build skills. Your child needs to be independent and develop his own capabilities; your role is to guide and support him. One of the best ways to instill confidence is to give your child the tools to achieve his own success.

 When self-esteem drops.

A child with low self-esteem may be too easily influenced by his peers, or he/she may overreact to criticism or minor failures. Self-esteem research shows that successes raise levels of self-assessment, and failures lower these levels. Repeated failures can have devastating effects on self-esteem. When someone has a series of successes; there is a greater tolerance for an occasional failure.
